Yes, go back to when there were more input from the driver to maintain control. As much as I love my electronic gizmos, there are way too many in cars to district drivers.
Or
Do like Europe and make the standard for getting a license more stringent to obtain. It is both time consuming and expensive and there is more care taken. Raise the driving age to 18.
Or require testing for seniors, not sure of an age and yes it will be a pain when I reach that age but it will probably benefit the public way more.

Look at Finland where it takes years for a teenager to get their license, they go through many training courses. Notice that they produce the most rally and formula 1 champions per population. We need better tests and training. It starts with the parents setting a good example too though....
Time consuming and expensive? yes. But guess what? Less accidents, less insurance costs, greater tax revenues, and there you. goneFXcrazy's econ 101. Class dismissed.
The rest of you, drive safe, and keep your eyes on the road!

You know how they have the carpool lane? There needs to be a "cell phone lane" with steel barriers surrounding it. That way when they go up in a blaze of fire, it doesn't bother the rest of us. Wonder when the hands free laws will make their way to GA/SC. Hopefully soon.
You're right, the cell phone isn't the problem, the driver is the problem. Making taking on the phone illegal will change nothing but filling the coffers of the man! Those idiots will still crash cause they are eating a big Mac or putting on makeup or got distracted by a bird flying by.

And you mentioned electronic gizmos, I saw a guy with a nice size screen in the front seat with a movie or something playing on it going down the road.
