Bingo! When the speed limit on I-15 in central and southern Utah went from 75 to 80, no one seemed to drive much differently. They are considering raising it to 85. Oregon has a 65 MPH speed limit statewide and lots of people (including me) go 70-75 (and sometimes get tickets). I've heard that in Europe driver's licenses are much more expensive and require a lot more training.
Anyone who texts and drives is an idiot and should lose their driver's license  !

Texting in a car is dangerous even if stopped for a light. I've seen two car rear end the car in front while the driver was texting and not paying attention. I've also seen countless other still sitting in a lane that the light was green. Put your phone in your pocket or purse. There is no call that is so important that it should cost someone's life.
