Part of what bothers me is this notion that "texting while driving impairs a driver to the level of .08 blood alcohol level." (This quote comes from the NYS Senate bill mentioned in the article.) If that's the case, can we expect that the punishment for texting while driving will be similar to the punishment for DUI? If not, why not?

If you ask me, this is just a lot of hysteria being put in the service of revenue generation and more money for our government's corporate partners.
