LE issues very few citations for texting while driving unless it resulted in an accident. Apparently, they lack the ability to see about 80% of the drivers on the road with a phone in their hand like you and I can. I support LE but for whatever reason, this law is not enforced very strictly. I once rode side by side with a state trooper steering with his knees while he texted with both hands. I kid you not. Get a dash cam, try to be aware, and sue them for every cent they own if a texting or drunk driver hits you. If you live. If not, ask your surviving next of kin to do it for you. Everyone thinks the rules don't apply to them.

Our city passed a rule saying that anyone caught texting while driving a city vehicle would be fire immediately. Our police chief wasn't too happy when we started emailing him pictures of his officers driving around town while texting.
As best we can tell, he put a quick end the practice.
Being a college town, the number of students you see texting while driving is scary. I worry about them far more than i worry about drunks or anyone else when i'm out cycling.
