Your comment made me curious what the penalties for this were in my own country, Britain. It seems as if one can lose one's driving licence for both offences, but with drink-driving, there is an additional possibility of incarceration. With texting, if one has been driving for more than two years, that person cannot lose their driving licence from just that one offence.
In the U.S. it varies by region, but I've never seen a penalty more than $120... whereas red-light cameras and speed cameras are used to impose $400 fines or more.
It's a disgrace. I really wonder why we must tolerate this, and who or what is behind the refusal to address it.
