So should be eating and especially putting on eye makeup. Having traveled the highways for at least 4 hours a day, 5 or more days a week, I saw literally thousands of women looking directly into the rear view mirror or visor and doing there eye makeup.

In my state (Washington) both texting and talking on the phone while driving are illegal. Doesn't seem to stop anyone from doing it.

States need to make it a primary offense so police can stop a driver and ticket if they see a phone in use. Right now, it's only a secondary offense, meaning they can't stop you for it unless they see another violation of the law.

I think any use of communications devices while driving should be illegal with severe penalties.

I am surprised that the Auto makers haven't gone to "heads up" displays on the windshields. Would be a boon for maps.

Hands free phones are no worse than talking to someone in the car while driving.
