My well-honed defensive driving skills are all that stand between these impaired drivers and my death - or the deaths of my passenger children and grandchildren. The ages of these people run the gamut, but the vast majority are women in their 20's and 30's driving SUVs, most of whom have child restraint seats in their vehicles - often with children in them. This unconscionably dangerous behavior puts not only their defenseless children at great risk of serious injury or death, but society in general. Laws to protect the innocent from persons too stupid and arrogant to conduct themselves responsibly do not fare well in Nevada due to a misguided anti-legislation mindset that perceives laws to protect the rest of us from the dangerous morons in our midst as infringing upon their "liberties." Studies have shown that cell phone use while driving results in impairment exceeding that of intoxication - and yet we have DUI laws but allow cell phone use. This is not rational. How many people must be maimed or die before the State of Nevada pulls its collective head out of its collective arse?

This is a subject that hits home closely. My son and his wife were the victims of a car accident as a result of someone talking on their cell phone while driving. Their lives are not the same since the accident. I am very interested in the cell phone law being passed. This is a subject that hits home closely.
