Maybe a large segment of the population disagrees with me on the level of severity. But it is a serious offense considering the risks involved, and one that has tragic consequences.
I lost a loved one who was bicycling a few years ago from a driver who was texting. I don't mess around, I f**** hate drivers on cellphones.
