re: Should texting while driving result in the same penalties as dui?

Studies are coming out that it is just as dangerous to text and drive as to get behind the wheel impaired. I think a $1000 fine would keep people from texting on the roads, but many want stiffer punishment

Why do people have the need to be controlled and punished? You people really love some government running roughshod over you.

The only thing those 1000 dollar fines will change is the government wanting to collect more of them.
