• Cell phone drivers could be charged
  Could be, and should be. Some business people need to have cell phones in their vehicle for business purposes, but they should pull off the road and park if they have an important call that can’t wait. The general public should do the same if they can’t leave their cell phones alone while driving in traffic. Cell phones, though a convenience, are a serious problem, endangering the lives of other people in traffic as well as the lives of those in the vehicle where the cell phone is being used.
  An example of “from the sublime to the ridiculous”, was last Sunday, I was visiting a church, and a scruffy-dressed person sitting in the second row up front, was on a cell phone talking while a prayer chorus was being sung. Caymanian mothers taught their children an important adage “There’s a time and place for everything”; and you are expected to have enough sense to know what is appropriate, and what is not - Harried Driver
  
   
• Estimated insured losses over $700M
