I disagree- I think texting is extremely bad and dangerous TO OTHERS
I have witnessed 2 accidents where a car right next to me (stopped at a red light) was rear-ended by someone texting
In one case the car was next to me when he was hit from behind, in the other the car was one car length ahead of me in the lane next to me, and i was looking out the window as a car plowed into it and i could see the girl texting through the window of her her car as she hit the person in front of her (it could have been me and MY kids she hit0
Texting (and to a lesser extent) cell phone driving is dangerous AND there should be a law against it like there is a law against drunk driving.
I do hate making a new law for every new thing- it should ALL be covered under one ‘unsafe action’ law that covers driving drunk, texting, digging out a slice of pizza while taking it home (someone very stupid, possibly me, got into a fender bender doing that)
I think everyone should be restricted to their bedroom and everything in it should be covered in bubble wrap. its the only way to be sure.
