You're exactly right. First, you can't legislate brains. Second, each of us has a little different version of what we think is common sense. (Helmet laws, for instance)

NC just passed a law about texting and driving. About the only thng it's likely to do is help some lawyers get bigger settlements since there's a record of your texting that would match up with the time of the wreck.

But, even if all of the cellphones magically dissapeared, there are any number of things that we all do to take our attention off the road. From selecting songs on the iPOD to turning around to tell your kids to "shut up" to reaching for that french fry that just dropped in your lap, there is no way we're ever going to be able to legislate safe driving.

Just, please, pay attention out there!!!!

Stay safe.
