Won't this make it worse as people will be holding their devices lower and thus taking their eyes off the road longer? Simple thing, you need to be good at multitasking, you just can't look down at certain times, and you can't look down too long.

It's really pretty simple..

I think its more about boredom than importance. When youre used to texting any time you have a free moment you get that same urge when youre "idle" in a car.

Im against laws like this.

How about reaching down for a CD or french fry that you dropped? Seems to me that is more dangerous than texting.

Not if you delete the message. Or what if you were reading a message you got yesterday and there were no messages sent around the time he saw you reading one?

Some phones will let you mark a message "not read" again too. But the droid doesn't seem to let you do that (I have one too).
