Only $5000 bail? Great way to send a message.

yikes. but, charges of 'criminally negligent homicide' do send a message.

imo it's about time that wrongful deaths arising from texting and cellphone and drunk driving are treated as homicides, not as accidents

I think the fucked up part is that she was still texting when police arrive. You should probably be on the phone with either the police or maybe a loved one at that point. Fucking texting?!

Im sure the technology exists to disable cellular phones from use inside a car UNLESS they are docked in a handsfree station.

Wrong?? What could possibly go wrong?

It's illegal to use a hand held phone, text, shave, do your make up while driving now.

I saw one dude obviously texting one night (I could see) and dude was literally driving on the dividing line of two lanes
