Agreed. Texters are dangerous to everyone.

However, this was disturbing: “Gwinnett County Police Officer Jessie Myers said if you do anything on your phone besides make or receive a phone call, he will pull you over.”

I thought it was already illegal to talk on the phone, including making or receiving calls. Texters are not the only hazards on the road. After all these years of cell phone use, people STILL drive extremely slowly or dangerously while on the phone, yet these people are excluded from his ticketing.

I'm assuming that talking on a cell phone isn't illegal in Officer Myers' jurisdiction. If not, there is no call to pull drivers over for doing so, no matter how dangerous, unless doing so provably contributes to dangerous driving.
