I can't tell you how many times someone is behind me on the Keaau crawl texting and I cringe every time as I am almost slowly rear ended about 5 times. I now pull over and let them pass and get behind them.
In addition, although less frequent but frequent enough, i see someone cross the double yellow on the road and sure enough, their head is down to their phone more than on the road.
Lock em up as far as I'm concerned. One accident is too many for that senseless act and nobody cares until their family member is hit head on, then it gets personal.
By the way, there have been medical studies that prove the EXACT same brainwave is used to drive as it is to talk on a cell phone. It is a human impossibility to do both because the act occupies the same brain wave function. All a human being can do is transfer between driving and functioning on the phone. That's just talking, texting is a whole other offense.
And before you call that BS, just realize that yes you can drive and talk, but medically speaking, your brain can only go back and forth between those acts. Cannot do both. The fact we have become accustomed to doing both doesn't change the science.
