Distraction ...... Rear-end collisions are also frequently caused by drivers being distracted or simply not paying attention. Cell phones, text messaging, personal digital assistants (PDAs), car stereos, and passengers can all contribute to driver distraction and increase the chances of a rear-end collision, particularly when the car ahead makes suddenly slows or stops.

This proposed law should apply to everyone. The average car in 1997 had about 166 horsepower. Just image this horsepower multiplied by the number of cars on the roads today. That means there's a hefty stampede coming at you, behind you and beside you.
Would you try to text someone with that many horses running at high speed all around you?
