Texting while driving is a dumb practice, but a pair of Virginia lawmakers are not satisfied with how that stupidity is currently punished. Two members of the state’s House of Delegates are pushing a bill that would reclassify texting while driving as reckless driving, a class 1 misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and a fine of as much as $25,000.

The Post reports that the proposal is the bipartisan work of Del. Ben Cline (R-Rockbridge) and Del. Scott A. Surovell (D-Fairfax). Cline, in particular, was moved by an incident in which an Alexandria driver struck and killed a pedestrian while sending a text message.

“Most everyone has one of these,” Cline, holding his cellphone aloft, said at a Capitol Square news conference. “And most everyone drives. And the combination of the two has proven deadly.”

Currently, texting while driving in Virginia is a secondary offense, meaning cops can only issue a citation after pulling a driver over for another reason. The punishment is currently a $20 fine.

And if you’re wondering—no, Martin did not send those messages while navigating a car2go on an interstate with his knees. That would be moronic and dangerous.
