"Speaking as a guy who makes a lot of cell calls while driving, I can unequivocally state that I am an accident waiting to happen unless I get a hands free system.

Me too. That's why I turn my cell phone _off_ when I get in the car to drive. Odd thing...callers are transferred to my voice mail when the phone is off, and I can call them back when it's safe to talk.

I've had several close calls with drivers talking on their cell phones. They drift out of their lanes, neglect to notice that traffic has slowed in front of them, and don't seem to notice that the lane they're changing into is occupied already.

I'm all for this law. Personal liberty ends when it endangers others. And cell phone use while driving endangers others.

Turn the danged phone off. There's a button on every cell phone that powers it down. You can check your voice mail when you park and make all the calls you want.

Hang up and drive!

Why are you for this law? It does not say you can't drive and talk on the phone. It says you have to use a handsfree devive while you drive and talk. The question is how many lives will this law actually save?
