 I don't think it should be a secondary one, I am sick of almost getting wiped out by some jerk-off teenager texting while on the freeway! DUH! Apparently self preservation isn't an instinct some people posses.

Dog:

It won't be secondary for long.  Remember when the seat belt law was secondary?  It wasn't long before it was a primary offense.  I agree texting behind the wheel should be banned, so I don't know why they're afraid to make it primary up front.

 i believe that they will see it as a 'rights grab', and resist with all their might. putting it as secondary gives the texters a feeling of security, knowing they have to do something else other than texting to be targeted by law enforcement.

we all know the ending of this story.

I fully support this bill. I also support banning cellphone conversations while driving. When you are behind the wheel, drive.

 Texting while driving is stupid, so is this law.  It's not enforceable.  Some day it will be on the list of "obsolete and archaic crimes".  We don't need more laws in Michigan.
