Driving with a Cell Phone ?
|
I feel that emotional and recollection factors are what makes this practice dangerous. If you become angry, astonished, tearful or elated at what you are hearing from your caller. Or if it requires thought to recollect details for your caller, These can be very distracting and take you far away from what is happening in traffic around you.

Holding the phone keeps one hand off the wheel ... and the conversation is distracting ... driving is no place to multi task .
It only takes a small distraction at the wrong time to cost you your life ... Is it worth the chance ? |

Yes, I agree. If the conversation is too emotional or requires too much of your attention, drivers need to pull over or call the person back later.
When I talk on my cell phone & drive, I will have either bluetooth or wired handsfree on 99% of the time. If I get into a situation, such as heavy traffic, I will tell the person I'm talking to what's going on & I'll call them later. All my friends & family understand. Most of my conversations are run of the mill shooting the breeze with friends or family. It passes the time, especially in the more rural areas of the country. |

Well that's why driving whilst talking is banned in Australia-too many idiots like you who would rather have a ****** fight on the phone rather than concentrating on the road..
You might not care but take it from a person who has had a close friend killed because of a stupid 18 year old on her phone.......
Yeah everything is a distraction while you are driving but talking or texting is a bigger distraction than you think..... |

There is no telephone conversation in the world worth risking life or limb over...Solution - turn the phone OFF...If a call just can't wait, pull off the road and make the call, take notes, lol, scream - whatever...Driving is not a multi-tasking event...It demands every bit of our attention and anything that takes us away from that focus is a threat to our well-being. |

Buy a headset or get a bluetooth. It should be a law like seat belts. Or, do as they do in Europe, vehicle must be on the side of the road, completely stopped. I live in a state where headsets are not mandatory, and I came from a state where headsets were. Before I got my new phone with bluetooth, I wore my headset here, people looked at me as if I were an alien. I have had more than one close call, and its going on a year here in my new state. |
