I know quite a few people that have received a reckless driving ticket. Whether they deserved it or not is up for question.. most of the time it had to do with speed though. If you drive more than X over the speed limit it's a reck-driving ticket and not a speeding ticket.

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...
And this.. entire idea.. just scares the hell out of me. "Making Examples" of people just leads to bad juju.
