I don't use a phone in the car and do not text, so this is merely a question to know how it can be enforced.
I do know the drunk driving fines in the UK are astronomical - as they should be, is it the same with the phones.
Most of our laws are a sham and are not enforced.

Yes they do enforce, and quite vigorously too! My oldest son was caught(stupid boy). He had a choice drivers awareness course or 6 points, I think. He took the course. Cost him about $200 in total. He learned his lesson.
We have many 'spy cars' here, with on board cameras, Big Brother is watching every move we make !!
