My argument (mostly a polemic, but humor me) concerning cell phones/ texting in cars:
Since people seem to be addicted to their phones-- while walking down the street (and walking into things), and especially driving, we should consider all instances of drivers texting and talking on the phone (holding the phone) to be a DUI. Cell phones can be just as dangerous as alcohol, and people are clearly greatly influenced by them. As I cyclist, I see 30-40% of drivers on their phones. This petrifies me.
