prohibiting any driver from using a cell phone without a hands-free device.

Yep, but NOTHING about looking down TO DIAL THE PHONE!

I encourage laws that make sense, and this law makes sense.

Says who..YOU? What about the AAA study that showed 10 other "distractions" that cause MORE accidents, hmm? Chief among them children in the backseat that cry/complain, etc.

Do we pass a law that bans children in the car? If not, WHY? If it'll save lives...

I was cut off in traffic the other day by an oblivious woman talking on a cell phone. She was holding it up on her shoulder

Oh, I get it...so because THIS person can't drive & talk at the same time EVERYONE should be banned from doing so?

I'd vote for that - no more of those squabbling trips to the store, LOL.

Some city or state recently passed a law that required children to ride only in the back seat.
