I do try and refrain from texting and driving but will admit I am guilty of reading the occasional text while on the road. Call me crazy but I really think the no texting laws may have had some negative side effects. People still text. Just now they have to be even more distracted. They have to put the phone way down on their laps so a cop won't see it. Then constantly looking up and around if there is a cop watching. This was me 8 years ago when the no cell phone driving laws kicked in. Before I would hold my phone up high and texting seemed much easier as I wasn't distracted with hiding it. Of course I learned better, I grew up a little and had kids. Realised texting and driving is so dangerous but don't expect the rest of the population to get that. I don't think we will see a solution until cell phones are advanced enough that they intergrate with the cars a little more like a HUD or something on the windshield coupled with self driving technology.
