Just wait till you are hit by someone driving while talking on the phone and then see what you have to say about the matter.

I don't know how many time I have had to swerve, slam on my brakes or otherwise avoid people who are obviously more intent on their telephone conversation than on their driving. I know of two 18 year old boys in Longmont Colorado who both lost their legs because a girl and her friend were talking on their phones (both) instead of paying attention to the road or they would not have run into the car parked at the side of the road where the two guys were standing and trying to get the tire our of the trunk. They lost their legs and received concussions and other injuries. Yes there is a reason for such laws in lue of reasonable behavior that we should expect from people when driving and performing other functions where they can be distracted by other technologies such as telephones. If you HAVE to talk, let another person in the car use the phone and let the driver pay attention to the phone. If there is no other person in the car, pull over and make the call in a place where you don't endanger others.
