If you were texting and killed a person you should be held up for manslaughter or maybe murder 2 or 3.
My opinion is based on my hatred for more laws restricting us as free adults. Further, as a driver that gets numerous annual training at work for driving alone. I could probably do my taxes on my cell phone and still drive better than the average out here on the roads.
However, I know there is no happy medium for all of us... and realize that the masses will probably win here and they'll start making some stupid laws with cell phones and driving.

It comes down to lack of personal accountibility. Nobody ( hardly anyone ) takes responsibility for their own actions.
Stupid enough to put a cup of hot coffee in your lap? Sue McDonalds because you're an idiot.
Stupid enough to stand on the top of a ladder and pull on something too hard and fall? Sue the ladder company because they didn't put a warning label on it to protect yourself from you.
We're surrounded by assholes and not only do they work and live among us, they reproduce.
