Yeah we have had this law in California for quite some time and I have yet to see any reduction in people using cellphones while driving, or driving stupid.

Great point. I ride a motorcycle. It's hard enough to get California drivers to notice and/or see me w/o having the added distraction of them being on their damned phones.

No offense, but one of the most startling things on the freeway is when some bike riders come up on your right and rap their pipes to deliberately startle drivers. I understand it's tough for bike riders with some of the idiots on the road but remember drivers of cars have been trained for decades to watch for other cars which are easy to spot, but bikes have been growing in popularity and they are much harder to spot sometimes. But I hear ya, when the phone users can't seem to see my full size truck it has to be tenfold riskier for you bike riders.
