Yet we dont pass laws for these distractions, how about too many people in the vehicle like kids screaming so the driver gets distracted, or the tv in the vehicle so we can have the passengers watch. Doesnt these all play a part in vehicle safety. We rely on the public to use good judgement Why dont we outlaw cars and trucks from driving on icy snow covered roads, This we know causes more wrecks than I believe in my opinion than the text msg, The drunks and the texters are hard to find but when it is bad weather and snow for fog we could controll everyone from driving by putting a alert or ban on all vehicles from driving on those days, and reduce accidents save lives and keep the insurance companys from having claims to save us all millions.

Or the bus driver talking to his passengers, What about the airline pilot talking to Air Traffic Control with his headset. Their are many people who can function normal while driving and doing multi things at the same time.Its the Individuall who will get into the wreck because they cant concentrate not the majority. Look how long law enforcement has typed on computers while driving. Surely a study was made on this group using multi task while driving.A small percentage per populas to make into law.

Why cant citizens use this same law to do citizens arrest on police. I doubt if a cop is certified to be less accident free as a citizen. If so offer training to discredit the reports of unsafe drivers. If police can do it why cant the citizens do it.
