"I agree but noone should have the ability to infringe their accident prone issues upon me."

Silliness. Driving is one of the most highly regulated things in our society. Things like brake lights, turn signals, standards for headlights, etc., are all laws designed to protect others from those who might not want to use those things.

I don't care about your seat belt usage, to be frank, but I do care if you're distracted by your stupid cell phone call. There is no earthly reason you need to be talking on the cell phone while driving down the highway. None. There's an exit just down the road where you can pull off and return a call, or make one, if it's that important. Shoot, you can pull into any fast food restaurant and get a cup of coffee to go with your call.

There is no phone call important enough for you to risk _my_ life. I don't care what you do to risk yours, but when it comes to my life and the lives of my family, I care a heckuva lot.

Hang up and drive!

So address my question since you support Gestapo laws. Is there any unearthly reason you can think of to transport noisy kids who cause a GREAT NUMBER of accidents? What about the NUMEROUS OTHER "distractions" that create MORE accidents then do cell phones? If we are going to do this with cell phones then why not EVERYTHING else that distracts drivers? Or better yet what about only the ones that create MORE accidents than do Cell phones. I think you just go crazy when you see someone driving slow using one. This is you real beef isn't it?
