Ahh...but I'll bet ticket revenue has increased. Which is what this is really all about. Tickets are a tax.


They can secretly care less if it makes the roads safer, they just want more money to pay for more unneeded things like a 15% pay increase for legislators at the expense of the taxpayer. They need to use the money made to pay for more traffic cops to enforce this and all traffic laws.
If done right, they need to make the law exact wording: Any cell or portable phone or devices that can be used to send or receive voice or text messages cannot be used by the driver of any licensed personal or commercial vehicle at anytime while the vehicle is moving our out of park/neutral gear. If the vehicle is parked in a legal parking spot, driveway, or other non-roadway and the vehicle is not moving then it is legal to use the devices.

All out ban on talking or texting while driving is the best way to go. Florida did this a few years ago (all out ban while driving) but unfortunately their tickets and methods of catching the drivers are lackluster and it continues with accidents the same or higher than before.
