I wish we could but you can't mandate common sense. You can't police that type of thing either so it's just basically another fluff rule

any new laws. Just enforce the ones we have. If you cause a wreck, there are laws for this. Maybe these folks would be happy if you just put a cop in the backseat of every car, or better yet, a camera and then they can just mail you a ticket. The last guy was right...you can't teach common sense with more laws.

text messaging while driving as what it is, wreckless endangerment. give the driver who does it a year behind bars, and see how often it happens again. don't wait for some twit with a cell phone to kill your kids, fix the problem now with the existing laws we have. writing new laws doesn't solve the problem, ENFORCING THE LAW DOES.

... compared to the danger of cooking pancakes while driving. Besides the obvious fire-hazard danger of operating a coleman stove in the front seat of an SUV doing 70 mph down I-94, the constant need to flip pancakes, keep the pancake off the roof of the car, have it hit the griddle cleanly and pass people in the slow lane is way too much distraction. Forget text-messaging. Let's stamp out pancake grilling while operating a motor vehicle.

to look into these folks that change their babies diapers while driving.
