I agree to a point. The problem is that driving is SUCH a waste of time due to traffic congestion, virtually everyone sees them as a necessity to get things done in a busy world. While I'm not defending this, I can see the reasoning.

Traffic congestion is (largely) due to GOVERNMENT failure to adequately plan and provide either (1) adequate capacity or (2) viable alternative transportation methods. To see the government now use the consequence of their crappy planning (people "needing" cell phones while driving because the traffic/delays/congestion is so bad) as an excuse to raise more revenue seems a bit problematic to me. . .

It's kind of like throwing your dog's schit over your neighbor's fence and then complaining to the H.O.A. about the odor coming from his property.
