So why are we cracking down on drunk drivers who might cause an accident? Likewise, why are we cracking down on cell phones and texting?

The argument is that the punishment doesn't fit the crime, not that the laws should be abolished.
Except the cell phone law, that one is completely ridiculous. Talking on your phone is no more dangerous than talking to someone else in the vehicle, changing the radio station, or eating. It's another babysitting law that caters to the lowest common denominator of shitty driver who can't do basic multitasking and probably shouldn't have gotten a drivers license in the first place.
