Are you going to ban: Eating while driving, Listening to the radio, Changing CDs, Talking to any passengers? In other works do you favor banning anything that someone might do that could cause a person to not be concentrating on driving every second?

“Are you going to ban: “

I have been run off the road, almost hit many times, observed swerving, irratic driving, and general lack of control of the vehicle. The number of events I’d guess to be 50 total in the last year. That’s a conservative guess. A few times it was just someone not paying attention, but I’d estimate that fully 80% of those events involved a cell phone. When something like that happens, I try to get a glimpse of the driver to see what the problem is. I’d call 911 for a drunk.

It’s been proven that talking or texting on a cell is as dangerous as drunk driving.

Want to talk on your cell? Pull over.

I hope you or someone you love is never killed by some careless fool distracted by their cell phone, quarter pounder w/cheese, or their CD player. Government is supposed to provide for the general welfare of its citizens and this is as good a place as any to be involved in.

I see that you’ve never had someone swerve at you at 75 MPH while talking on a cell phone. Using a bluetooth isn’t that hard.
