You know even I have noticed how consistently negative you have been! Yeesh!

You are redefining the issue to fit your argument worse than I am. Recall that "distracted driving" stats put out by our own government included "changing radio stations." The problem of distracted (or just lazy, or rude) driving is real - but the solution is often a broad brushed revenue raising activity that does not solve the problem. In fact cops are reporting the laws against texting have made the problem worse - people now text from their laps.
