Saw this on Slashdot. At first, between the Slashdot caption and what I read led me to believe that this movement will be defeated by a generation of vastly intelligent super-teens who will just... turn off their cell phones!
And then I realized maybe this is the real reason? It's a win/win (or lose/lose, depending on how you look at it) situation. Parents keep their kids driving at safe speeds, or if the kids want to speed they have to turn off their cell phones, reducing distractions!
I'm against the idea either way... but still. Fun to think about.
