If there was genuine, observed driving impairment, then I'd support this. But if it was enforced like a seatbelt law - a police officer sees a person in a car using a cell phone, then to me two years in jail seems too harsh.

I find it hard to believe that someone would just shrug off a hefty fine, say $1000 or so.
