New York State to ban crossing street with an Ipod

ALBANY, New York: New Yorkers, turn down the iPod and pay attention: A new proposal would make it illegal to walk, jog or bike across the street while using your tech gadgets.

And it is not just iPods. Kruger's bill also would ban using cell phones, Blackberries, video games or other electronic devices when crossing the street.

Kruger said a 21-year-old man in his district was killed last fall when he stepped off the curb at the busy intersection while listening to music. And a 23-year-old iPod listener was killed Jan. 11.
