because it's ok when someone takes their eyes off the road and causes an accident? driving is a serious responsibility and it totally appropriate for the penalties to be serious as well. it isn't like the government is taking away some natural right.
in NY, the penalty is 5 points on your license (just started yesterday). about time. no one needs to be in constant contact. put down the phone and drive
People have been crashing cars well before cellphones were available to the public.
Should there be a law? Yes. Should these laws alter the way we operate motor vehicles? No.
I rather not live in a Minority Report world.
Policing behavior to prevent danger is a waste of time, only the end result is punishable.
We can only educate and warn people about the danger. That's why law making takes in-depth thought, not emotional reactions.
