One of the legitimate functions of government is to keep people safe from selfish idiots. Texting and driving should be a criminal offense with the same penalties as DUI.

Every person thinks that he or she is smart enough to text and drive, just like every drinker thinks that he or she can safely drink and drive.

That thought process is what gave us Obamycare.

You are free to be an idiot. It’s up to everyone to protect themselves from the idiots.
