I think that's because it's only a $20 ticket for the first strike and $50 on subsequent offenses. Not enough to be a deterrent. In Nevada it's going to be $50 the first time, $100 the second, and $250 for third and subsequent.

To me this is really easy. If you have to talk and can't afford a headset, pull over. And if the text is that important, pull over and read/send, then get back on the road. If your life is so busy you can't do that, then you need to cut back, period, before you cut someone's life short.

I agree. I sometimes wonder what people are yapping about that they think is important enough to justify endangering themselves and everyone around them.
