You see cars parked on the side of the road if they want to use their cell...that was a law that had to come considering the accidents using phones while driving was causing.
There are laws on the books already to deal with distracted type of driving offenses. The officers should enforce what is already there. Doesn't matter if it is the phone, the radio, the child in the backseat, poor driving, etc., enforce the laws already there.

As to the pulling over part...maybe cause it is so recent and such a horrific accident, but, just this week, our major interstate was shut down. Someone had pulled over/off the road (they think the car was disabled), and was sitting in the car. Along came an idiot (in his 50s, no less) travelling 100 plus mph, and decided to pass on the berm. Well, of course, he struck the back of this vehicle, killing the driver, and I can only hope instantly.

I am not a fan of people pulling over- unless it is completely off the highway/busy road onto another side street. Way too dangerous.
