As a motorcyclist, I find that behavior particularly distressing.

We are not yet taking this seriously enough. Distracted drivers on cell phones, whether speaking or texting, now kill and injure more people than drunk drivers. We've been very successful in reducing drunk driving injuries and fatalities, through both education and some pretty strict enforcement. It's time we treat drivers distracted by their phones in a similar manner. Custody offense, vehicle impounded, cell phone held for evidence until the trial date. If found guilty, same penalties as a DUI.
