And why? TEXTING.

Until states make texting while driving a DUI-level offense, with the same penalties, this isn't going to get better.

I'm so tired of seeing people bellyaching about "speeding" when in fact the real problem is texting. Whining about "speed" lets politicians and law enforcement off the hook for not addressing the glaringly obvious threat to everyone on the road. And instead of cracking down on it, they waste taxpayers' money to destroy taxpayers' roads with ridiculous third-world impediments, stealing from 100% of drivers 100% of the time.




Love how someone actually down-modded that. Yeah, up with stealing from others and putting their lives at risk!

Incredible.
