If you are in an accident caused by someone texting/talking on cell phone, do not destroy the phone. Have the police take the phone and hold it as evidence for court (including your civil case against the driver).
That being said, I still go nuts when I see laws enacted against this or that while driving. MADD (WCTU 2000 edition), is trying to lower the BA levels to practically nothing. They do nothing about the 85+ yo driving who's whole life is as if BA .015. Or the person doing 20 perscription pills a day and still driving. We read all the time of seniors driving THRU buildings ("I don't know what happened. I had my foot planted on the long skinny brake pedal"). Just mention some sort of retesting rule and the AARP goes nuts. My father had a heart attack 10 years ago and drives fine. His two year older brother had a stroke three years ago and scares the heck out of anyone who rides with him. (think of a pin ball careening from lane line to lane line). When they are willing to go after ALL forms of impaired driving, I'll get on board. Not just the one largely committed by the low voting <25 yo group (and that really is who we are mostly talking about with texting).
The 16-18 yo and the older seniors have about the same accidents/miles driven stats. In KY the under 18 have all kinds of restrictions on their driving, what about the other group?
