enforcement efforts and take a more aggressive approach with this issue. we're seeing way too many drivers who still are texting or holding up the phone to their ear while their driving. >> trent, what are you looking for? are you look more for people weaving and looking as though their car is out of control, or looking for people holding the phone up to their head, or looking down at their phone while texting? >> it's a combination. what tends to happen, for example, if someone is holding the phone up to their ear, they're creating a blind spot, or they're just distracted. you're going to notice that in their driving behavior. what makes it even more dangerous, when someone is trying to text, you're taking your hands off the steering wheel, and put yourself at risk as well as the people around you. this type of driving behavior has to change, because it's just extremely dangerous. >> one other thing about that.

you mentioned texting and looking down. is it indeed more dangerous to text and drive, than to drink and drink? >> each issue is extremely dangerous. what makes texting even more severe is that you're looking away from the roadway. so in order to safely operate a motor vehicle, it requires 100% of your attention at all times. even if you look away from the road for even one second, you could find yourself involved in a major injury or crash, or killing yourself, or killing someone else. that's why we really want to remind people that you have to focus on your driving. you shouldn'ting distracted with a cell phone, or changing a cd. you've got to eliminate all distractions and just drive. >> i know people that have gotten tickets and know they're doing something wrong. this is not necessarily education, as much as enforcement. you've got to tell people, if you're going to do it, you're

going to have to pay a fine. >> it's a combination of both. the educational aspect of it is more proactive in trying to remind people of the dangers, and letting them know about it. from an enforcement aspect, some people look at $20 for the first violation, and $50 for any subsequent violation as no big deal. but you're looking at 150, to $200. it doesn't matter how expensive that fine is. if you find yourself in a situation where you end up killing somebody, there's no amount of money that's going to bring that person back. so that's the issue that we're seeing, is that way too many people are being injured, and lives are being lost due to people simply being irresponsible. >> the message is out. we know you guys will be out in force as well as other law enforcement agencies. i know you have a big event starting very early in the morning. time now 7:43 as sergeant cross mentioned, if you violate

the laws, you will pay. a state lawmaker, if he has his way, those tickets are going to get more expensive. pushing a new bill that would raise fines. right now, it's $20 for a first offense. he wants to make that $50. subsequent tickets are $50. he wants to make that $100, and put a point on your driver's license. you might be surprised at what was call on camera. just go to our website, at ktvu.com. check out our right now section. at 7:44 now, we do have a live picture looking at san francisco. you can see smoke there in the distance. we're getting reports there is a fire in a building on mission street in the mission district of san francisco. there are some sketchy reports so far about some people possibly jumping out of windows to escape that fire. no word yet on exactly what is burning, or exactly if anybody has been injured, or how many
