People who talk on their cell phones while driving annoy the hell out of me. If it was up to me, the police would have standing orders to use lethal force against anyone talking on a cell phone while driving. No warnings, no tickets, no arrests - the police would be instructed to just pull alongside the offending driver, take out you gun, aim, fire, aand keep firing until you run out of bullets.

I realize that some people, for whatever reason, might find this approach a bit extreme, but I think it would be effective.

The cops would have to make sure they didn’t use all their bullets on a dog.

Really; a 'bit' extreme? Okay. . .so how do you 'feel' when you see someone drinking coffee while driving; or eating from a bag of Duncan Donuts; or just 'scarfing down' a Big Mac?

(Do you grip the wheel? Does your blood pressure start to rise; and/or do you 'feel' the pressure of a rapid heart beat in your chest?)

Whatever your MO; it just seems to me; that YOU may be; a 'bit' of a threat; on a crowded highway. . .if only a tad less, than the person using that cell phone.

How do you feel about drivers who talk to the person sitting next to them? You know, where there’s a temptation to take their eyes off the road
to make eye contact.

I suppose all drivers should be forced to remain silent while driving since talking to a passenger is essentially the same thing as talking on a phone.

This is a conservative forum. Small government. Limited powers. Personal responsibility.

Wow. You scare me.

You're being ridiculous. People tend to judge the actions of others based on their own limitations. The fact that you don't feel you can drive and speak on the phone safely doesn’t mean others can't. If you don't like people using cell phones while they drive then put your phone down and worry about yourself.

This “one-size fits all” mentality is the greatest tool of big government liberalism. Banning speaking on a cell phone while driving only causes people to do more texting while driving. And then banning texting while driving only forces already distracted texting drivers to lower their cell phones deeper into their laps so they won't be seen by the prying eyes of others outside their car. Of course, they'll have an even harder time driving the car, too, because they'll have to look straight down to text...which they will do.

Talking on the cell phone isn't even the top category of distracted driving contributing to accidents. If you want to be bubble-wrapped for safety by your government, move to New York with the rest of the liberal lunatics who don't feel they can handle the choice of a large soda at the theater, or need some brain-dead bureaucrat to control the salt they eat.

Busybody’s who call themselves by super hero names annoy the hell out of me but since I’m into “freedom” I will die for your right to be annoying and fly around in a funny looking suit. Now if your cape happens to slip and you hit my windshield causing me to drop my cell phone while I’m driving and chatting in heavy traffic then what goes around comes around. :)

I detest cell phones. I wish it were legal to equip a car with a cell phone jammer that would jam all phones within 250 feet or so.

We could do it “for the children”. :)
