Wait a minute, you can get FINED for READING text-based communication 
while driving?  Does that mean they'll be getting rid of all of the 
signs?  Or at least, the electronic (possibly wireless) ones that 
require you to keep staring at them to get the entire multi-screen 
message put together?

I agree, this one is probably unenforceable but represents a double 
whammy if you get stopped for something else and they "discover" an 
infraction.
