Is it not good enough to just put this under a violation of existing laws prohibiting "careless operation" or whatever the verbage is? Why do we need a specific law for everything that happens?

I feel the same way about texting/cell phone use while driving. I don't think you should be texting while driving either, but if they make a law prohibiting that specifically, then the also need to make a law prohibiting burrito eating, makeup applying, reading, looking down for too long, falling asleep, looking at the passenger while talking, tending to children in the back, changing cds, picking up the coke that just fell over, etc...


Enough is enough. This didn't happen because of an absence of a law, so why would the addition of a law fix it?
