Make all new vehicles with a shield that is activated so the cell phones won't work in them while the engine is running. This stuff is out of control around here and even in the stores women are running their baskets into other people while shouting on their cell phones to let everyone know how important they are. Last report was that more than 66% of our accidents, both minor and major were caused by people on cell phones or texting while driving. One woman drove into a house that was 40' off the the street while texting her friend that she had gotten a new phone. No one was killed but the elderly woman that lived in the house and her husband were both injured as they were watching TV and the vehicle came through the wall and hit the couch they were sitting on. And the woman driving the car wasn't even given a ticket.
The local DA is fast losing ground here for his refusal to prosecute cases that have involved everything from bar fights and a man dying as a result of one, to refusing to prosecute a pick up driver who ran a red light and hit a woman in a crosswalk. His excuse, he just doesn't believe he can get a convection.
