Agree completely Jerry. They should also confiscate the car of a drunk driver on the spot and let him/her find a way to get home.
The driver is arrested, of course. The vehicle is generally towed. Lawsuits have happened when the police tried to be nice after the driver promised to go straight home. Of course the driver MAY have been borderline at that time but decided to have a few more before going straight home. The driver was in an accident and sued the officer for not doing his duty to arrest her. She won. Drunk drivers are not left to find a way home.

I would also like to see a law against being a jerk when driving. So few people "drive friendly" anymore. Turn signal - what's THAT? Actually STOP at a Stop sign - why would I do that? "Right of Way" - what does THAT mean?
There are laws for every violation you listed:
Failure to signal
Failure to stop at a Stop sign
Violating the Right of Way

Not about distraction of the cell phone but of companies expecting the customer to have a cellphone and use it to register the product they bought. Home Depot - we bought over $100 of batteries/charger for my husband's new saw. To register for the extended period we have to take a picture of our receipt and text it to Home Depot to get the extended coverage. I have a cell phone, it does take pictures, I can text - but I screw up when I try to do more than one of those - especially the text with the picture. I hate my cell phone! However, I did have them send me an email copy of my receipt. Maybe I can send that on to where I'm supposed to text it to. I've still got 10 days to get it done. Wish me luck.

Most companies allow the buyer to register online.

Difference between talking on a cell and talking via a headset (hands free)...
When you hold a phone up to your ear (even an old fashioned handset)..
You look down.
With a headset, you can still look where you're going.
As a truck driver, I have to have a cell phone, and it has to be hands free.
You can always tell when someone is texting or otherwise looking down, they're all over the road.
