There is precedent emerging from the judicial side on distracted
driving. One gal in the great lakes area (if I recall correctly) was
sentenced to several years in prison for distracted driving. She hit a
child that darted out from between cars. Normally a hard thing to
avoid, but with her interest in attending to her electronic gadgets, the
judge felt it wise to send a strong message to the public, using her as
an example.
