A specific distracting driving statue

[Unregistered]

Texting is a secondary offense. The courts have ruled that looking at a violators cell phone without their consent is not permissible. The courts also want some proof that the person was texting, and not using some other aspect of the phone. In crashes that involve death, Leo may look at the phone. This is such a myopic way to deal with this problem. Why not create a specific statue that encompasses the many ways that a driver is distracted while driving. ie, putting on make up, reading, playing with kids, animals, operating a cell phone or electronic device, etc. All Leo has to prove is what appeared to be the reason for the distraction, ie instead of texting specific, operating a phone or electronic device. Careless driving is a catch all statue, a specific statue is needed here.

What does a statue of careless driving look like? Florida has statutes.....any true LEO knows that.

Careless Driving statue is very broad and attendant circumstances has to be stretched to apply. Why do you need to know whether violators are texting, playing games, or talking on their phones? A specific statue as mentioned only requires you to specify the distraction, ie using a phone, putting on makeup, etc.
