Oregon wants to hit texting drivers with $2000 fine

[Criminal Drivers Murder 35,000 Americans a Year]

I say lets also make text driving a felony with all the consequent
loss of rights and job opportunities that entails. Text driving is
super-violent and far worse than things like tax evasion or drug
possession that are routinely charged as felonies.

Tough Talk-and-Text Deal for Drivers: A $2,000 Fine

Wednesday, 13 Feb 2013 11:54 AM

Motorists in Oregon who text while they drive may soon pay dearly for
it — with lawmakers mulling a whopping $2000 fine for offenders.

"You don't have to drive much to see people texting," state Sen.
President Peter Courtney told The Oregonian newspaper. "It's
everywhere. It's going on all the time. It's just unbelievable."

Two bills to boost fines have been introduced in the legislature as
statistics show hundreds of car accidents are the result of people
texting on their cellphones or chatting on them without using a hands-
free device.

Four years ago, Oregon passed a law slapping drivers who text or talk
with a maximum $500 penalty. But there’s a good chance that amount
will be substantially boosted to at least $1,000 and as much as
$2,000.

Another idea i like is to let the cops "soften up" anyone they catch
text driving. Not kill or even cripple - but maybe a busted jaw or
cracked ribs.
