Yea we've had a lot of that here lately. I would take their drivers license away for a long time. There is no excuse.

But that text was so important!

$500 is not enough! Lets go taking your phone if you were using it, remove driving rights for 2 years, and surrender the plates to the car.

I say we need to require Cars to install a way drivers CAN NOT use their phones period!

Seems We could get around just fine before Cell phones became the death machine I'm seeing EVERYDAY now.

You take away a persons right to drive and you pretty much take away their means of earning a living, which affects not only them but their families as well, and possibly make them a burden on everyone when we have to give them welfare. That's pretty strong response for a first offense when nobody got hurt.

A 500 dollar fine (1000 would be better) , maybe a class or some community service even but save the really draconian stuff for repeat offenders.

$1000 fine for a child's life possibly?
Sounds fare in a draconian sort of way.

I agree with August. I think the fine would work better. That's when no one is hurt. If a child is killed I think a manslaughter trial becomes appropriate.

Exactly. If anybody (not just a kid) even gets hurt then I'd want to see some serious jail time given out but a first time offender that's not speeding and doesn't cause an accident should be given a little pain for his stupidity but not have his life seriously ruined over it.

Was almost rolled over by a car last month while I was on a bicykle, young man driving, his head and eyes and one hand were down and he looked at his nap, he saw me last second and hand flashed up to the wheel - a smartphone in it. He did not even care to brake, just rolled on, at not slow speed.

Better for him, for I was furious, if he would have stopped, he would have received quite some.

Damn smartphone zombies. The penalties for such violations must be draconically raised, the must really hurt (something neither lawmaker nor our endlessly pedagogizing courts judges simply do not understand. 6 months driving license retired, half a month'S income. Its potential slaughter. Once an first time offender has been lectured about the risks and does it again, I rate it even as attempted murder.
