Well, I'm not sure I would have taken the same approach as the OP, I do agree with the sentiment behind it. The state government is trying to pass stricter cell phone laws in Louisiana now, too. While I have no doubt that it is strictly a money-grab, as a driver that has passed people on the Lake Ponchartrain Causeway that are face-timing on their phones going 70mph, I am a big fan of less technology when operating several tons of mechanics. As a cyclist, I just have to ride with as much situational awareness as possible and I am certainly a more defensive rider than I am a driver.
