People argue with me that they see cops an the phone all the time too, but they even have a laptop set up to use while driving, trained and part of their job. You won't win that arguments.
There is kind of a fine line with this stuff, is it different to be using my GPS while driving, switching CDs, eating a big mac, drinking coffee? Hell, I've eaten KFC at 75mph before.
I pick and choose, eating fried chicken is safer at 75mph on the interstate than driving 30mph through town.
I still say make using phones talking/texting a felony, first offense.

3 years ago, everyone around here still remembers it.
Another thing I alway wonder about: I'll be watching the news and I always see accidents that happen in the city of Buffalo or Rochester. There are cars rolled over, porches ripped off of houses, trees down. people trapped, explosions, wreckage, carnage, etc, etc...some of them look like an Indy car crash. I always wonder, isn't the speed limit in the city like 30mph? WTF?
