and they will make the fine 20 bucks.like that will be a real deterant.better be a minimum of 500 bucks or its a waste of time.

Couple the first financial penalty a stiff with with DENIAL of *ALL* phone service for 6 months, with effective monitoring; and if someone cheats and starts using a phone, within those 6 months, add a stiff CUSTODIAL penalty and a 5 year driver's license revocation.


I think it is time for harsh penalties and enforcement, I was just down in Los Angeles, last week, on the freeways, and saw practically every other female driver yakking on their cell phones in heavy fast traffic, and in a half hour's time saw two of them drift into other lanes and nearlycause serious high speed wrecks!!!


It used to be a safe place to drive, but no more. Most of the cars have heavily polarized windows too, including the front ones, which is already illegal, but unenforced down there, which makes it even worse.


Time for a real change!!!


And: I believe that QUICK change would only come if one Senator's or Congressman's family member got killed by a cell phone or textmessaging caused traffic accident per day.

And even then, it would take at LEAST 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've noticed it seems to be young women doing most of the texting/yakking while behind the wheel.

on another note, perhaps the states should build "texting stations" into rest centers all along the road system. that way, motorists can get their "texting fix" before climbing behind the wheel of a car or truck.
