The state is increasing the penalty for using a cell phone while driving. While it�s been illegal for years, starting Wednesday, the state Department of Motor Vehicles will impose two points on the driving records of anyone found guilty of using a cell phone while behind the wheel.
That�s in addition to the $100 fine offenders already face.
Those who get caught texting while driving also face points and fines.

Good idea
Good idea! Those of us who text while driving know full well it is compromising safety and is, in a way, wreckless or careless driving. Sometimes the law serves as a “Great teacher”, and in this case we have to be objective. While my text is very important, I dont want the other guy texting and looking up in a split second to get a bearing on his driving.
