And is it not in the driving book that one has to read and pass to get a licenes that says no desecrations while driving? and that one is to have both hands on the wheel?

I agree. A car is not a toy nor a right that Americans can abuse. If you can't follow the rules of the road and operate heavy machinery properly, you don't deserve to drive and should have that privilege taken from them.

If they make a law about cell phone use by a driver - I'm all for it.

This wouldn't be a reflection of Police State, but personal responsibility with heavy machinery that can kill that should be taken away if one can't abide by the rules or operate a dangerous vehicle with care.

Putting on make-up while driving should earn you a ticket. Eating while driving. Talking on phone while driving.

Those things doesn't really tell the story of a responsible driver.
