It gets worse. I read a stat that said that areas where they enacted no texting laws actually see an uptick in texting related accidents. The reason is that now drivers are holding the phone below the window so as to not be caught and not even looking at all in the direction of travel. Arggghh....

I was waiting to cross a major highway the other day and counted cell drivers vs. non cell drivers. It was 1 in 4 drivers on the phone. 55mph on a city highway (2 lane divided road with lots of driveways and intersections). Frightening.
