I think they should treat texting while driving as drunk driving in a sense... If the cop see's a car driving erratically/wandering etc. pull it over. It is easy to check for alcohol on breath, and just as easy to ask for their cell phone to see when the last text was sent with most modern smartphones as it labels the time sent by each message. The cop can then deduce if they were indeed texting while driving.

I remember a young teen girl blowing through a red light at the corner of my street and t-boning a car going through the intersection. I was outside with the neighbors when it happened so we ran down there, the light was still green just turning yellow for the other direction traffic which tells me how long her light was red, so she simply wasn't paying any attention... and that car she hit was the 3rd car through the light. She was in bad shape with a broken leg (no seatbelt either) and ended up sprawled out in the front yard of the house at the corner. The cop asked if she was on the phone, she said no.... the cop picked up her cell phone from the cars dashboard to find her frantic boyfriend on the still on the line asking what happened and was she ok, because he just her her say OH SHIT and heard a crash, then no responses from her but heard sirens and voices in the background! Some people can't even talk while driving safely, even to someone else in the car at times.
