Escalade?
I have these on my Escalade! The $374 kit. It's 145psi and around 147 DB of train horn BOO!! When they are texting or on the cell not paying attention get next to them and hit the train horns and miraculously they get back in their lane. They might end up in the shoulder, but they get the hint. Caution beware of surrounding IE other innocent people just in case. I live in a college town and it works great to get them kids out of the way that think they own the road as pedestrians.

and doing what you do won't be right because you keep trying to rationalize it.

Keep in mind, you or a member of your family text and hurt or kill me or another family member of mine, one of us will own you for the rest of your life, that's if we decide your life's worth living!
Yes we own and use our cell/smart phone occassionally, but ALWAYS use them responsibly and we NEVER EVER text while in control of our vehicles. I'm 100% sure that your life is of less importance than mine.

As an example, in Illinois, there is no negligent vehicular homicide. The choices are only reckless vehicular homicide or a traffic violation. The differences between negligent or reckless are somewhat complicated (i.e., more than I have time to type at this moment). Reckless kind of boils down to doing something you *know* will likely cause someone injury or death.
An example of negligent vehicular homicide would be a driver making a legal u-turn, doesn't see an approaching biker. They crash, the biker dies. Doing the u-turn isn't a reckless act. It's situations like this where you see someone kill a biker & get off with a traffic ticket & a slap on the wrist.
Reckless vehicular homicide would be something like where a driver says something like "I was trying to decide if I should paint my nails or not. I thought it was probably a bad idea and dangerous, but then I decided to do it anyway." She makes a statements to the cops at the scene that she was painting her nails while driving, and there is physical evidence (nail polish all over the air bag and interior of the car). It pretty much takes all that in Illinois for the states attorney to charge someone with reckless vehicular homicide (after the dead biker's family calls him daily for 4.5 months).
As for civil suits - first, the person you are suing has to have some money. Then you have to go to trial and win. Then, you have to collect - and the court really doesn't help you on that part (see OJ Simpson civil suit).

In our legislative body here in Oklahoma they are about to pass a law banning phone use while driving. It has passed the House and is off to the Senate..

How F(&*^!ng Stupid. We already have laws regarding this in ALL STATES!! We have for MANY, MANY YEARS.
It's called Inattentive driving. So lets waste our dam money by having law makers spend more time making new laws. Dam that makes me angry.
Next thing will be outlawing chewing gum.
