Don't hold your breath...it will have to be enabled by the device owner so it doesn't affect you if you're a passenger in the car or using public transportation. If so, most won't turn it on.. the world is full of morons who believe that they can safely pay attention to something else while hurling down the road in a 4000lb hunk of steel....somehow they think it's a "right" to put everyone else in danger.
Treat it like drunk driving....a hefty fine and 30 license day suspension for first offense, along with aggressive enforcement...only then will you see an impact. I'd love to see the municipalities solve their budget problems on the backs of these idiots.

They are once again talking about making it illegal to TXT and drive here in TX. Can't come soon enough for me!
I've already totaled 1 bike because of an idiot texting and have almost been run off the road another time by yet another idiot texting.
I pulled up next to a lady a couple of days ago at a stop light here in Cypress. looked over at her and smiled.. motioned for her to roll the window down and when she did, she got what she wasn't expecting. Me yelling at her about texting and to put her standing up in the front seat 5 year old child in a damn car seat!

Illegal to text and drive...OK, sounds great but drunk driving is illegal, driving without a license also, and a bunch more. Until the punishment fits the crime ( big fine first time, jail the second) nothing will change. Only thing that will stop texting while driving is making the phones stop working over 5 MPH, don't care if your a passenger, riding a train or whatever.
But that ain't happening either, too many political idiots want to use their phones while be chauffeured around!
