It's all BS. Politicians create these silly laws to get votes. Bad driving is dangerous and is already illegal. What difference does it make if you're driving poorly because you're talking on the phone, or drunk, or eating, or putting on makeup or whatever?

We have checkpoints to see if people are drunk because we argue that merely being drunk is proof that you will drive badly, even .08 or .05 or whatever it is now. Should we have sandwich checkpoints, or cell phone without hands free device checkpoints? It's all stupid.

I read that they're going to make it illegal to text message while driving. Brilliant.

It's all pure conjecture until you are either the one causing an accident or the one on the receiving end.
