I hate the thought of a nanny state for us but I personally know several that have wrecked over mobile cell phone use .There are now some amny FM transmitter type devices for your auto that gives you a hands free calling,texting and so forth.Seems making those the mandtory would be more the ticket than punishing those who are responsibly using a mobile phone while driving.
