Yes.
Talking (without an earpiece) or texting while driving puts everyone on the road at risk.
The following is from the link:
On the day before Thanksgiving last year, high school senior Patrick Sims was driving less than a mile from his Denver home and texting a friend, when his girlfriend suddenly screamed.
When Sims looked up, he was just inches from a cyclist in the bike lane.
"I couldn't swerve my car, I couldn't move it, because he was just too close," Sims recalls. "There was nothing I could do to possibly stop the car accident from happening."
The resulting collision killed a 63-year-old grandfather, and changed the teen's life forever.

It just was in New Jersey, but only as a secondary driving offense, not a primary one, meaning you cannot be pulled over just for texting while driving. But, if you're in an accident or say run a stop sign and found to be texting while doing so, there are stiff fines/penalties.

yes .God yes. All the stupid teenagers who think they can't go a minute without texting should be punished. I think you should at least give them a ticket for talking on the phone or texting while driving. You know how many accidents are caused by that? It needs to stop!!!!
