Lahood is the hood here, only true defensive driving courses for everyone, starting with those going for their first license will address this issue. The shrieks about mobile devices is another attempt by some folks with a little power to grab alot more power. Banish the Hood back to his Ludite roots and look for the real culprit driver education.

This is a state issue. Just like wearing a seatbelt is a state law, so should cell phone regulations.
