I for one embrace the new cell phone law here in WA. We all have had the "close" call by an inattentive driver. I do not need statistic to tell me how safe or unsafe cell phone use is to two wheeling folks. It only takes one. I dislike government interference yet until common sense becomes common I like the option of nailing an offender being on the books. Lastly with the huge budget hole WA is in, and most of the country, the leo's have been handing out moving violations like free air. This new law will be an additonal revenue generator for state gov and make the road safer for you and me. IMHO, the difference between this cell phone law and potentially repealing the helmet law (MI) is I have no control over the cager who could care less aboout killing me and the court system deems a slap on the wrist as justice. I do have control over riding safely or not. One is choice and the other is regulating for the general welfare (public good).

Sorry to hear you went down but glad you made it out alive. Let's all be careful out there and watch out for the other guy.
