What kinds of fines do you think should be imposed on people who text and drive?

On MSNBC there was an article regarding this. Alabama passed a bill that would “fine drivers $25 for their first infraction, $50 for the second and $75 for each subsequent violation.”

My first thought was they should be fined hundreds of dollars! But, then I thought, you know, it’s mostly kids who do this and $75 could be a lot of money for them. I would hope those smaller fines would stop parents from being tempted to pay the fines themselves, and actually make the kids suffer the consequences.
Also, I think that after the 2nd offense they should start suspending licenses. That’s something the parents couldn’t bail their kids out of, either.
(Do you bail your kids out of trouble? I don’t.)
