You're 1 out of 5 Matthew!
Laws cannot regulate people into common sense.
That's exactly right. No self respecting manufacturer or retailer would even think about passing on the costs to the consumer. In fact those filthy stinking money grubbing capitalist ought to be taxed at 110% just for good measure.
Oh...wait... Wrong BBS. My bad.
It truly seems that way at times, doesn't it?
I kid you not...
I bought a 2x4 the other day that had a warning label on it that said;
The manufacturer of this product had to get a label design and wording approved by a State Government Agency, have it shipped to them, and affix it to every single 2x4 they sell.
I bought this 2x4 in Wisconsin.
Of course, the cost of all of this came out of their profits, right?
Lol'd, job security?
I know of one lawsuit already where a State Trooper pulled over a vehicle driven by a teenager, swerving in and out of their lane. The Trooper asked if he was texting , which the teenager denied. However, the Trooper being sure of it because he observed the teenage driver looking into his lap at the glow off his phone, pulled the teenage driver's record only to find he was NOT texting.
He was actually using his GPS. And his father just happened to be an attorney. Using a cell phone and driving is not illegal. Nor is using a GPS from a cell phone. However, pulling a driver's phone records sans warrant or subpoena is. Just sayin...

I was taught a lesson on this by my boss a long time ago. I was a young man new to the management title and our break room was consistently a mess. So I got fed up one night and took the break room table away. Folded it up and said no more table if we can't keep the break room clean!
Well the next day I go to work thinking I solved the problem and expecting a pat in the back. NOPE the compete opposite. My boss called me in the office and asked where the table was (apparently the employees had told him before I got to work). I told him where and why as smug as I could. He chastised me for a few minutes and made me put the table back before I did anything else.
How about anyone caught using their cell phone and cited has to pay to have a device installed that kills the engine if there is any cell phone on in the car - like the breathalyzer installed in cars for those convicted of DUI. Mandatory 2 year cell phone interlock device...
And assume the rest of us are responsible enough to drive responsibly and leave the texting for when we are not operating a motor vehicle.
And so we slide down the slippery slope.
More slippery than snot on a doorknob...
I'm tellin' ya. That car as smart as a mule is the answer to this.
No need for a study on that. Every farmer in America or the rest of the world who ever plowed with mules knew that.
Problem is they can't reproduce. All the male mule zygotes die; they're not viable. So there are no male mules. And if you breed the females their zygotes are all non-viable as well. I think there is one documented mules birth of a dead colt, but in general any conceived offspring spontaneously abort. Problem is that the horse and burro have different numbers of chromosome pairs.
What we need is a mule smart enough to read texts to you while your driving them.
If i understand correctly, you're suggesting that if a passenger wants to talk, the driver should pull over so the passenger can make a call?
If I ever become rich, I will hire someone to sit next to me while I drive and text for me.

Oh Wilbur....
I think that would also kill the GPS features of the cell phones as well.
Uhh? If I ever become rich I'll hire someone to drive and I'll do my own texting.
