Well of course it’s the people. But it’s the thing they are attempting to use while driving that screws things up. If they weren’t able to use it they wouldn’t be distracted.
I say let people use them but if they get into accidents they greatly mulptiply and fines and penalties. Like at least ten-fold. More if someone dies because of them.
I can understand where you’re coming from. However, one little potential wrinkle - what if a person who gets into an accident that some LEO misidentifies the cause as being from distracted driving due to a phone (the phone is found on the seat next to the driver and it is assumed that was the cause)? LEA’s are driven by revenue generating situations, right? How does the person who is wrongfully accused of this defend themselves? There must be some parameters for when someone can be charged with distracted driving due to a cell phone or other item. That’s my 2 cents anyway.
