It's not just about tickets...distracted drivers can cause accidents. Too many people think because they haven't been in accidents and nothing happened that they can handle multitasking while driving, but studies show it's just not that simple. I've heard so many drivers say, "I'm a good driver, so why should I be punished because other people can't put on their makeup/eat/text/etc. and drive?"

I've heard of idiots that drive with their KNEES while doing other stuff!!!

The laws against distracted driving allow the cops to ticket and fine you if you violate them, but they have to catch you first. Every time my boyfriend and I go out, I see people on their cell phones while driving.
