I don't know what the answer is but I do know that this issue is big and harmful to others. If it only hurt the person who was texting I wouldn't give two sh*#s, as we don't need any more laws to save us from ourselves!

Generally speaking we tend to agree. I think the issue is poor enforcement of existing laws (which, IMO, is a common problem) and lack of real penalties/repercussions.

Hell, even without the law most people *know* it's a bad idea. Yet another law with minimal enforcement won't make a big impact (IMO).
