I agree with @PF_Flyer that reminders are great and add that it makes me sad that American drivers are so unskilled that such things are needed. In my perfect world, every driver would be required to take a fully comprehensive driving test that includes emergency maneuvers in a car without assists/aids; if you can't pass the test, you don't get a license.
But, shockingly, we don't live in my perfect world, so (like @fordson1) I'm glad for all the help I can get for the real-world drivers we share the road with.
That said, I think texting while driving is SO unbelievably stupid that maybe someday there will be a backlash. Kind of like how it was once cool to not wear a seatbelt, but now that behavior is considered fairly insane.
