The only thing that is going to deter these texting morons is if you hurt them in their wallet. The state government is about as backward thinking as those escambia county alabama county commissioners...all of you a bunch of rubes that just fell off the turnip truck!

My bet is this will be another excuse to just randomly pull over people and claim they were on their phones, only to try and search the cars etc Pointless law, we already have something called wreck-less driving that im sure texting while driving would fall under.
