Ticket texting while driving  September 26, 2008|Herbert Bach,
Margate  The news station confirmed that the terrible train
accident in California was caused by the train engineer, who was
preoccupied with phone texting. A local TV station had one of
its employees drive and text, and the results were shown on TV.
The driver had several near accidents, but was alerted by the
passenger.  I would like to suggest that anyone driving and
using a cell phone be given a ticket if seen by the police. I
also suggest that if it is determined that a driver, while on
the phone, causes an accident, his insurance company be exempt
from paying for any damages to his car.  Herbert Bach, Margate
