I work for a cell phone company, and I do support a full-on cell phone ban. Americans are bad enough drivers, I mean, I've seen so many stupid people that are somehow allowed to operate a vehicle cause wrecks, or just do stupid things without the assistance of talking on a cell phone. Those same awful drivers are the same ones that are dumb enough to actually text message while driving in gridlock traffic. I completely disagree that bluetooth devices don't fix the issue, because they do. Any kind of hands free headset or kit is sufficient if you ask me, but people do not need to be allowed to use their cell phones while driving, bottomline.... On that matter, the driver's license test should be much more difficult to pass, because any idiot that knows how to breathe can drive a 3,000lb. wrecking machine, which definitely should not be the case.

God people are stupid! All the idiots texting while they drive should be drug from their cars and arrested ala' DUI. Oh and wtf to bluetooth not being handsfree? When I get in my car my hands never touch the phone, Ive even got my phonebook programmed into the dash.

Haha, I'm sure your sarcasm will subside the day your car is totaled by a moron talking on their cell phone, not paying attention while they're driving. Haha, keep laughing, reality will come into contact with your world someday, hopefully it's nothing serious though.

i notice when people are talking on their cells they dont use blinkers when they exit or switch lanes

EXACTLY, ever see the movie "Shoot em up"? The guy flips out because the driver in front of him keeps on switching lanes without his blinker so he drives up next to him and runs him into a telephone pole.

wow this article is the equivalent of saying most poeple did not support prohibition. DUH! i really dont care personally. i dont talk much on the phone as it is. but my question is if its illegal to talk on the phone while driving when will it be illegal to eat while driving, put on make-up while driving...i mean i cant count the amount of times where ive driven past some stupid female swirving all over the place and when i finally pull up next to her she looking in the mirror slapping on some cheap make-up to make herself seem prettier. anyway do i think its stupid to ban all cell phone usage while driving....no.

this is a waste of time i as most people are still going to use there phones while driving, it like driving without a seatbelt its not legal but we all do it from time to time, besdies what about the cops with there computers, cb's ,cellphones and all the other crap they use in there car while driving. i swear almost everytime i pass a cop there on the cell phone or doing something else

most people cant bear to drive without a seat belt because most cars now a day make an annoying ding and a warning comes up if you dont put it on

But doesn't the 'ding' turn off after a few seconds? I wouldn't know; my car is so old, it doesn't even have one.

My car beeps after about 30 seconds, then pauses for 10, then beeps, then pauses, beeps, then pauses............ you get the idea. Besides, I would assume any semi-intelligent moron would wear a seatbelt while driving a 3ton vehicle at least 25 mph.... Would you like me to find my old physics formulae and calculate the mass amounts of energy and momentum that are produced and how much force is exerted on your body during an accident, let alone what would happen without a seat belt?

I never text while driving, I let the passengers handle that. But I can drive really well while talking on the phone, and I never forget to do anything like look behind/beside me when changing lanes and using my blinkers. I can tell that a lot of people do forget, though. They should learn to multi-task (or just not talk on the phone while driving) instead of making it illegal for the people who actuall can do it. Either ban all multi-tasking (cell phones, make-up, food/drink, etc.), or none of it

It would be impossible to ban doing anything while in a car. Talking on the phone while driving is just as dangerous as talking to the passengers in your car while driving or changing the radio station. There is no way to regulate it, people would just learn to put the cell phone down if a cop pulls up beside them. Illinois has a cell phone ban and the people who live there still talk while driving. Its a stupid law.
