Using a phone when driving should be made illegal. Excluding truck drivers and state police.

One of my sons is a longhauler - he constantly sees people zipping onto the freeway while driving dangerously. For ex: a guy with a phone in one hand, a cup of coffee in the other, (many many like this, ) steering with his knees. A lady opening and reading her mail on the steering wheel. etc etc.

Something has to curb this...and NO ONE should use a hand-held phone while driving. If you can afford a cell phone, you can afford a hands free head set. You have no right to put others lives on the line.

Many people, including Freepers, don't seem to understand that one person's personal freedoms ends where another's nose begins...i.e., if your actions impact another person, it is not a 'right'

Other “Freepers” don’t understand that most “Freepers” are sick and tired of having nibby noses stuck right in the middle of everything they’re doing, right, wrong or indifferent - we’re not machines.

This thread is about encroaching surveillance and increasing control which definitely treatens liberty.

You don’t fix mistakes by making it impossible to take actions.
