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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
