A friend of mine actually bought a cell phone "scrambler". Turn that thing on and all cell phones within 40-50ft. just drop their connection, no way to redial or get an incoming call until you turn it back off. I thought this would be cool to have while riding but then I thought it might actually cause the driver to be even more distracted, they would be too busy trying to figure out what happened to their call/signal. I can see it now, the person staring at the phone looking at his zero bars and then BAM! plowing right into the back of a car stopped due to traffic or worse, swerving into my lane and taking me out trying to avoid rear ending the car in front of him.

I think the only way that an individual is going to stop the cell phone use (talking/texting) while driving is if they actually get hurt/injured, or worse, hurt or injure someone else due to using the phone while driving. I think there is too much "It'll never happen to me" mentality out there for this to suddenly end and laws that prohibit cell phone use while driving are only effective if there's a law enforcement officer to witness the infraction. The best we can do for now is be cautious and pay attention to our surroundings.

I very much like the thought of using a cell scrambler on someone who just forced me to go cross-country however, I very much prefer the Severe Legal Penalty option over scramblers that can be so easily abused...

Whoops, I thought you dudes were talking about a real scrambler not one of those pansy ass telephone gadgets.

We might start with scramblers in restaurants, theatres, churches, hair salons, barber shops, WalMart, ect. For those who even get in a fender bender there is a record of the call if a cell was in use. IMO a fine of around ten grand or some jail time might be a good persuader. A complete ban on cell use while driving or riding, the latter for idiots, is coming. Stats are up for many countries and states. Same deal, use the cell or texting whilst driving and do the time.

Probably wouldn't help, how many times do we hear about repeat DUI offenders?
