Texting and driving should have same punishment/enforcement/fines as drunk driving.
I mean IF YOU AREN'T LOOKING AT THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING IT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who would have imaged that?

Some dumb ass kid (rich and in daddy's brand new Chevy Tahoe) ran a red light at 55 mph (speed limit was 40) two year ago. He hit our car at 90 degree angle. My car totally destroyed I was injured moderately and my had to go to hospital in abulence. Took about a year of physical therapy to get over her back pain. According to the Police Investigator he didn't even slow down before striking us.

How did he happen to not notice that the light was red (had been for 30+ seconds) and there were cars in intersection?
If you guessed texting you are the winner!

Texting and driving (or more correctly texting and letting the car go uncontrolled wherever it feels like going) should be illegal.
Sorry if that makes me a fascist. I guess some people would consider bans on drinking and driving to be fascist too.
