1. why this is legal

is beyond me. I am so sick of cars crossing the centerline into my lane - head-on. Honking is becoming a regular thing but it doesn't do any good - they only look up when they are through with what they are doing. If it takes a Constitutional amendment - so be it.l Texting while driving is dangerous.

2. In most states it is not legal....

and now with voice texting apps there is no excuse to be holding a phone while driving....

3. No, Not Me

With my arthritic hands and small keys it would not be 300 feet, probably closer to 300 miles!

5. This is why we need autodriving cars like the JohnnyCab in "Total Recall".

People are too stupid to drive on their own. We need self driving cars and slotted highways that can handle 200 MPH traffic. And lots of high speed rail. And an upgraded electrical grid. And much more solar and wind power. And faster, available everywhere, public internet.

And since we're living in fantasy land, the tax revenue and Congress that would make it happen.
