Do you have any ideas on how to stop it? Higher fine? Stricter laws?

No offense, but I'm glad you don't create public policy

We are years away from that. What was wrong with my idea?

I can't support the part where the cell company restricts your phone use

I don't think you can really stop anyone from doing what they want.

I agree, fines are not the answer. Which is why the inability

Do the fines and jail time stop people from driving drunk?

Sometimes. It also punishes those who break the law, which is also the point.

I often ask myself what the difference is between those who:

similar to DUI/DWI, by the way.

Or murder and attempted murder. Why is any incomplete crime punished
Jay Rick

I actually agree with that. Attempted murder is a joke. Just means they

Not sure I follow, are you saying #2 should be punished more in
ChiCityCoug
11/14/19 2:26pm
In a way, yes.
BertoChavez
11/14/19 2:29pm
So what would be your proposal? Anyone who is caught texting
ChiCityCoug
11/14/19 2:31pm
No. Though I'd consider permanent license revocation after the 2nd incident
BertoChavez

Problem with taking someones license is, they can still drive.

Jail time if caught with a suspended license. Even more jail time if it's
BertoChavez
11/14/19 2:38pm
In fact I'd even consider jail time after the first texting incident (few days)
BertoChavez
11/14/19 2:40pm
Maybe some ways to reduce the "sentence" or even reinstate the license:

I'm just glad you didn't mention AT&T as part of your plan.

Wouldn't it be easier to just get rid of the family? This would eliminate all

I would note that my family wasn't texting, the other drivers were.

It’s not illegal to text while stopped at a light.
