It's NOT cheap in NM.
Insurance IS mandatory here but it's impossible to get the twits at the MVD to do what they're legally required to do: require proof of insurance before issuing any license or processing any registration.

I noticed your in Lutz. I used to live in Land O Lakes. Seen lots of accidents there.

I think there should be a law that all cell phone must be carried in the trunk of your car. This way you wont be tempted to use your phone while driving. Maybe add in 1 year in jail, 10,000.00 fine, 10 year suspension of your license. I wonder if that will get it all stopped? Maybe make a cell phone where it does what a land line does....just a phone.

SR 54 and US 41 no doubt. They're crazy up there!
Well, in Florida they don't punish like that even in a DUI Manslaughter.

texting while driving is out of control. people are addicted to phones. it's against the law in VA but I see people doing it every couple minutes while commuting. I'm honking and screaming at them every chance I get but mostly get ignored. Until they start yanking drivers licenses it will get worse.
Glad you are OK, some ain't so lucky

I drive MN Hwy 55 frequently, since it's a leisurely way to motor to the Twin Cities (with a bonus of stopping @ Dickinson Spring for an icy-cold cup of spring water
), and there's a section near Buffalo that's part of an accident reduction project. There's signs saying "Concentrate On Driving", dots painted on the roadway 3 sec apart with advisory signs telling you to keep at least 2 dots between you & the car ahead, and other interesting advisories along the way. Seems like it's been effective, too!

Now that it's the next day, & you've had time to regroup, I'd like to point out your grammar error, if I may. 
WTH = What The Hell, which you followed with a lower-case hell, without any precursor. This reads as What The Hell hell, which can't be right, especially since there's no comma seperating the Hell & the hell. For future reference, Hell, What The Hell would be more appropriate.

I have a phone and I have a bluetooth headset I can just tap my earpiece if it rings while I am driving.
But honestly, I rarely get calls while I am driving - and I have a short commute.
Of course, I don't text, and think anyone stupid enough to text while driving should have their license revoked. No exceptions. Period.
I also see people in morning rush on the DC Beltway applying eye makeup at speed and all kinds of idiotic things.
I agree - you can't fix stupid.
Sorry about your car, but glad to hear you and yours weren't hurt.

Gentlemen,
Another thing all drivers should be taught! Do not tailgate any vehicle with handicapped driver license plates. You don't know what set of challenges that driver has.

Then we should put passengers in the trunk too. I've seen drivers actually turn to look at their passengers while talking to them, which seems much more dangerous than having the same conversation via a head set.
Seriously, you can't legislate good behavior, and I don't believe that those of us who use devices properly and safely should be punished for the behavior of those who don't.
