I don't care about speeders. I care about stopping people from using their phones while driving. EVERY SINGLE TIME I drive, I see people staring at their phones and not the road. It's infuriating. I think it's even worse than drunk driving for a few reasons:
- more likely to happen during the day so more potential for accidents
- more socially acceptable
- more likely to be done by the least experienced drivers (citation needed, I know. anecdotal evidence from living near a high school)
I suspect there will have to be some major event with multiple or high-profile casualties that will catalyze some sort of legislative action before anything changes.

I have seen no correlation with age, honestly many of these people are middle-aged, some of them are even in work vehicles (dump trucks, or marked vehicles). I've even seen cops do it. It's ridiculous.
