Tests have shown that cell phone users have terrible reactions and judgment. Many accidents have been caused by their use by drivers. Pull over! It matters not who you are!

So do you support cell phone laws?

PRECISELY my point.

I know (I realized very early in life) that I was not only endangering myself when adjusting the radio/CD player/rolling down the passenger side window, etc., etc..

I saw no reason to potentially harm myself, my car as well as others, while others think of nothing but their own self centered ideas?

My question is - why do "some" people consider not only their own safety but that of others and why do others travel through life "willy nilly"??

In my case it was potential of pain or even damaging my car and having to pay huge sums to repair it should "I" do something stupid. I would also feel more than just a little guilty should I hurt some innocent passerby or their property which I would feel obligated to repair or replace.

Why do some (like myself) consider the feelings and safety of others, while others care not one iota of concern for harming others or their possessions (cars, fences ----- ).

Yes we need to make those who's base nature does not care about anyone (not even their own safty) and are careless, and are not responsible for such circumstances they may cause? Laws are not necessarily devised for their sake, but rather for the sake of humanity in general.

I would rather be free from stupid, lazy, self centered people than concern myself about a law which already is of my basic nature and concerns, whereas a "Law" basically should affect the thoughts and consideration of the irresponsible types.

Then again I'm quite sure those types rarely if ever concern themselves of others, hence the law will make them legally responsible in case of an accident - "after the fact".
