We don't need all these new laws. Just enforce laws that already exist.
Passing a law specific to texting is as silly as passing a law that makes it illegal to bludgeon somebody with a pencil. We already have laws on the book for assault and battery, why would we pass a special law prohibiting assault and battery with a pencil?
Because Drones love new laws backed upon their backs.
BTW. I just lost a coworker to a car accident were some moron dropped his cigarette and crossed the center line while reaching for it.
Of course the knucklehead survived with out a scratch.
