Here is a few more headlines
"Ignorant person says something ignorant"
followed by
"Commenter gets annoyed"
" 53.7 of comments in Slashdot show insensitivity"
"Other commentator gets annoyed with comments on Slashdot"
I don't care about what this guy had to say the first time around. I don't care that he apologized. I don't care about his Pasta, his company, his facebook page or his dog. I don't care.
I would argue he is not doing his job. If he were doing his job he would issue a warning. If he is concentrating a whole month passing out tickets for texting at traffic lights he obviously is not doing a very good job.
Having said that my personal rule is texting and driving don't mix at all. Holding a cell phone in your hand getting GPS information or any other information is also a distraction. Your GPS should be on the dash not in your hands while you are driving.
