However, some may disagree with me because Wisconsin does quite enough by punishing those who break the law. They don’t do quite enough because people’s driving habits haven’t improved. With an increase in technology for people who drive has been quite a distraction. There have been several laws that made the use of cellphones while behind the wheel banned.
