I have no problem with a "Nanny" law like this, if the purpose is to try and spare the people, who might hit idiots crossing the streets with all their attention diverted at a damn iPod. I don't really care or feel anything specific for the guy/girl getting hit... they're just stupid... however, I feel for the person doing the actual hitting. I can't imagine what it must feel like to hit someone, due to no fault of your own. Must be terrible and if this law can prevent some of these cases, go for it!

You know, I agree with this, BUT I think that depending on whose fault it is, the person at fault should be prosecuted for the act in court. Banning ipods and cell phones aren't going to solve anything. People do it anyway.
