Man those Brits don't play around when it comes to driving and texting!!!
Currently the penalty for using a cell phone and driving is three points put on your license and a fee of at least £60, which is about $122 U.S. But law makers are trying to up that ante, by drafting legislation that would require anyone convicted of "dangerous driving" (driving in a potentially lethal fashion while using distracting devices) will serve two years in jail.
Not an accident caused by "dangerous driving", but just getting caught driving while texting! I know that I would be doing hard time in the UK, that's for sure.
