I agree in principle with Laughing Man but add the caveat that "reckless driving" in and of itself is very vague and apparently difficult to prosecute. I know of dozens and dozens of people who have received tickets for all sorts of quantifiable reasons and not one who has received a reckless driving ticket-- despite knowing many who deserve it.

Texting is, however, easily quantifiable. Yes, I'll grant you the prosecutorial hurdles... but if representatives of the law decide they need an example or two, well...
