Keep it legal

Make it illegal

[*MAFIA* Beatlejuice]

"A federal agency in charge of safety on the roads wants an outright ban on using mobile phones while driving."  Here's the article:

They say smartphone accidents are becoming the new DUI.  Imagine having to go to classes to get your license back because you're hooked on your phone?

I definitely disagree with the talking ban, but I'll be honest: it scares me to death when I'm driving with someone who's texting.  If you pay attention to the driver, you can easily tell that his/her reactions are slower and that he/she doesn't pay as much attention.  I also have a friend who almost died in a car accident because he was texting :/

I seen 2 crashes right in front of me, both were while getting my daughter from and to the bus, both were because of texting. 1st one was in the afternoon, 22 year old male rear ended the stopped car at 50mph, both cars totaled both to the hospital and the other was in the morning, 30 something female hit the rear of a stopped truck at about 30mph (she was skidding, to late to stop), totaled her truck (S10 blazer hit a full size ford expedition), passenger of the expedition went to the hospital (8 months pregnant) All this with my daughter only in 4th grade (time frame example) and with me less then 50 feet from both crashes.

Cell phones while driving, bad, talking or God forbid texting... I bet there is way more crashes over cell phones then we know about, I mean how many people are going to say "I was on my phone" when the crash happened?

Insanely dangerous.

The only time i've allowed myself to use my phone while driving in the past month was 2 days ago when I came back home after finals, and that was only because I was in deadlock traffic for 90 minutes with my roommate in his car just 200 feet behind me.

Needs to be illegal and treated as DUI's in my opinion. The way I come home from work is on a winding road through a forest, and is usually late at night which is already pretty risky, but about a month ago one guy was coming around a curve and literally didn't turn, and went flying off the side through my lane right in front of me. I pulled over, called 911 of course, and got out to go help him. He wasn't too beat up but his car was boned, asked him wtf and he said he was texting. I nearly got smashed by someone texting and driving, nuff said.

A lot of states already passed the law to make it illegal to text and talk on cell phones unless it has blue tooth or hands free.  People still do it in those states.  The Government needs to stop worrying about little shit and get working on all the bigger stuff.

So far I'm the only one who said keep it legal. If you make it illegal people will STILL do it and they will try to hide it while driving meaning they will be looking down or to the side which makes it even MORE dangerous.

I want to slap that guy in the face, I hate that shit!

I think I once read an article about how the brain hates people who use bluetooths because it can't gauge who the person is talking too.

I was with my mom the first day of classes this last semester when some dude plowed into the back of her car in between classes. Totaled her civic and gave a mean fucking pain in the neck for a week or so. The kid was on the phone behind us. He goes to the same school I do and I occasionally see him around. Fucker
