Close to home, a trucker sped through a stop sign, killing a car driver instantly. His excuse? He was watching his GPS. In some countries it's a $3000 fine for using a hand held cell, never mind texting. We need stronger laws and enforcement. That’s a good point, railgunrat.

Teens may very well be statistically overrepresented among the "perpetrators", but unless I'm mistaken, people die and get hurt equally well is it's an adult that's the cause of an accident... The added age and presumed extra driving experience of the adult won't counter the lack of concentration and focus on driving - some eldery might even very well be even worse at multitasking between handling the cell phone and driving. Making the law age specific just seems, well, dumb - and hypocritical to me... What I don’t undestand is why they made the law age-specific.

I owe an awful lot to my parents for keeping the skids on me. They did not wait until I was 15 to start preparing me to drive. My whole life, my parents taught me that I am responsible for my actions, and that my actions do have consequences. As parents, Mrs. Somebody and myself did not do so great. We allowed our children to make too many of their own rules, and we protected them from many of their own consequences. Fortunately, our kids are really good people, in spite of everything we did. As grandparents, our jobs are different, and something to which we are much better suited. Our job, now, is to make sure the children know that they are loved - no matter what. It is also our job, however, to allow the parents to do their job. A parent is an extremely difficult job, but someone has got to be the heavy. Children do need a large support system - extended family, school figures, community memebers. It is the parents, though, who must have the greatest influence. No one else can replace the impact that <i> good </i> parents have upon their children. Parents share this responsiblity with their driving teens. If the parent needs to confiscate cell phones (or car keys) or resort to other "unreasonable" means, then so be it. I realize that nearly all parents must work full-time (at least,) and this adds an extra burden, but we all need to step up to the plate.
