yes all forms, most crashes happen because people are not paying attention or are being careless. Cell phones are apart of both of those more than 50% of crashes are cell phone related. By banning cell phones while driving even headsets because they distract you to, we could make roads alot safer

Definitely... i had the misfortune of watching a woman who was as usual on her cell phone trying to park her car one day and barely missing a kid on a bike... as it was he saw her and got out of the way.. but she kept right one.. ran right over the bike, completely demolishing it.. got out of her car, still talking and was about to walk away. Both the youngster and i yelled at her... She was oblivious..... how stupid is that.

hand held Yes--Hands free No

Yes; I would support a ban of using cell phones while driving. If the car is stationary and not running, it can be used.

---

Yes, fine them heavily...$150.00 each time.

---

Yes, I support it. Most of these people are already in their stupid little worlds already. Add a cell phone and attach it to their heads and they're completely in their own universe! They either drive too fast or too slow, or are swerving like they're drunk. Don't get me wrong, I love my cell phone. I think it's one of the greatest inventions of all time, but nobody is so important that they need a phone attached to their head constantly.

I most definitely would! At the least they should make people use a headset. Nothing ticks me off more then to see a person driving 5 miles an hour while they are talking on there cell phone.

---

Yes. The only thing more distracting to drivers is noisy children.

Being a teenager with a new liscense and lots to talk about, I can honestly say a cell phone ban would be a great thing. For inexperienced drivers like me, the worst thing that can happen behind the wheel is when a careless driver on their cell phone runs a stop sign, or a yield sign, when we have the right of way. I once ran a stop sign once when I was on my cell phone, so I never use it anymore while I'm driving. In driver's ed, one of the drivers doing in-car almost got hit by an SUV running a yield sign because the woman was on her cell phone. When the Drivers Ed kid honked, the person who ran the yield sign looked horrified. She apparently never even saw the car. In my state (Illinois), if you are under 18, you are not allowed to drive while talking on a cell phone, including hands-free. No one obeys it, however, and I think the only way to really prevent it is to just plain outlaw it. It's dangerous to the driver, as well as the people around them.

I have seen 2 car accidents, one was a sideswipe and both times the drivers were holding phones.

Banning does no good though. They deny it.

States where there's a ban cannot really enforce it. Nightime is the worst.

---

Sure, while you're at it, ban changing the channel, not wearing a helmet on a bike or bicycle, eating, writing, putting on makeup, leaning over too far, and singing....good grief!

---

yes beacause americans are very careless %26 irrespinsible. %26 when it comes down to it most are non reliable.. so i would support making it illegal %26 if seen you should get a ticket. head pieces %26 speakerphone are great.. but either way... cells phones have become a huge distraction when driving

No, and it currently is law in some areas you may be driving through without any knowledge of the local laws, it's like a hidden trap. The government loves these type of tactics.

Some have banned eating while driving, and one in NY is trying to ban smoking cigarettes while driving.

Next, picking your nose will be banned as a driving distraction. Where will it end?

I seen a female driving 80 down the highway weaving lanes while putting on make-up using her rear view mirror.

Ban everything or nothing, and ban it everywhere or no-where.

This reminds of the 2 boys I seen on TV tonight in jail with $100,000 bonds for graffiti on a church, while the female K-Mart employee puts rat poison in K-Mart hamburger and gets released on her own recognizance.

Who's running this twisted society, because it sure isn't anyone with any intelligence.
