Working in or near the road for lots of years before I retired. People on the phone, talking or texting is a problem, but so is putting on lipstick, mascara and other beauty tricks, along with reading newspapers, books, and road maps while driving 70+ MPH. All of this happens way more than you think. miles Agreed - but all in all I'd estimate 90% of these distractions involve phones and all the others you mention add up to the other 10%.. Just a WAG.. It's pretty rare that somebody can convince me we need another stupid ass fugkin' law. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/stat...-bans-reduce-crashes-maybe-maybe-not.eceDave

I can text and drive just fine.
Dave Same thing the fuggin drunk said "I can drive just fine" Mike Here's some other earth shattering news. I can have two Coors Lights and drive just fine. Dave One in each hand and texting at the same time, no doubt.  Not just everybody has the mental capacity to do that. If I wanna text while driving, I hit the little microphone thingy and talk my text. Another thing that not many people can do. Especially on Friday.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Since I started texting while driving, I have only been in 3 serious accidents in the last 50,000 miles. Before I started texting, I used to have 5-6 accidents/50,000 miles.
Texting has made me safer...

I commute sixty plus miles to work and the texters are getting out of hand. Statistic show texting/cell phone use is becoming a primary causal effect for road accidents and I agree.
It's not a factor of legislating to the lowest common denominator, if that was the case I'd agree. The problem is they are trying to KILL ME. I'm all for draconian, punitive penalties for texting whilst driving as well as driving at or below the speed limit in the left lane. Jorge, at the very least, the penalty for texting should be as severe as DUI. Take away the texter's permission to drive at all, and you might see a reduction in that sort of behavior. Might not either. Millions still drive with a snoot full. As I keep saying, you can't legislate behavior.
