Cell phones should be hands free only and if you're caught not doing so then it's a ticket worse that seatbelt violations. Texting, emailing, facebooking or whatever while driving should be an even stronger penalty. I guess it will take a Senator or prominent member of society to be killed or a family member killed from someone being distracted by a cell phone before any real action is taken.

How many of you sit behind people at stop signs or traffic lights and have to give them a beep beep to get moving? ever watched a car swerving from people of cell phones? Ever see a car with a glow at night from someone cruising by looking down at a lit up cell phone?

Having a teenage driver in the house has really made me aware of this. It scares the crap out of me that she or others she is with will cause or be in an accident from improper cell phone usage.
Could be the jay walker was talking or texting on phone and walked in front of a car
