Speed limits, texting, and a poll.

Should there be an accident and it was shown that you removed the text block as the driver, well you assume 100% liability and not your insurance. The insurance company is covering you as a driver, not as a text monkey. It's criminal that people are dying because someone had to text a driver that there's no chicken in the fridge or some other non-emergency.

Sounds like a pain, but I really like the liability thing, that would make roads much safer.
