Some laws about phone use and eating/drinking/etc. while driving went into effect where I am recently.
I've got mixed feelings. On one hand, it pisses me off for the man to tell me I can't text and drive, but on the other hand, traffic deaths are increasing and a large fraction involve phone use or other distracted driving. I'm not sure this is really any worse that DUI laws (which I also have mixed feelings about, but support more than this).

Governments have to regulate it or you'd get every idiot out there thinking they can dive piss ass drunk, stoned, reading a book, texting, etc. All because it's their "right". There are lots of arguments that can be made about individual rights. This isn't one of them.
