This kind of intervention should absolutely be a requirement at least for repeat offenders.

The impossible texting & driving test has been added as a related post - related requested by oritteropo.

I know I'm guilty of getting a text and looking down, but fuck, Facebook? Instagram? Really?

Shitty thing is they were probably dedicated to avoiding phoning and driving for about as long as it took them to walk to their cars.

I'm hoping I'll be able to brainwash my kids into keeping their phones off while driving, but I know it won't work. You can't fight human nature.

As if looking at your phone for texts is somehow not as bad than looking at it for anything else

It may sound exaggerating, but it really is an epidemic. I walk down the street near a university every day, and 8 out of 10 cars that drive by have their phones up in one hand, and driving with the other. And like the video shows so well, it may not be you that is the cause...but just the victim. Its scary. Always be alert and watching around you...tho there may be nothing you can do if someone else is 'texting' and driving. My son is 4, and hopefully by the time he start driving, there will be something in place to prevent this careless behavior.

Don't let them drive an automatic transmission. A doctor's note should be required. Yeah, I know, you can't buy a manual in the USA any more.
