Should talking on a cellphone whilke driving be illegal?

in my oppinion i think it should, and I have a good reason to.

One day I was going home from work, I was in the right lane and their was a car beside me on the left, I was driving keeping my eyes on the road, then on the corner of my eye i saw the car tyhat was beside me trying to get in the right lane but it was right beside me, that person was on a cellphone and was probobly to cought up in the conversation that they forgot to check i was always ran off the road, but luckily that person saw and stoped thank God i have a yellow mustang that is pretty lookin id be pissed

Should talking to your passangers be illeagal too? NO. You can be caught up in a conversation with them too.
How bout kids in the back?
Texting should be though.

I've been in states where driving should be illegal. In LA people are going so fast a cell phone makes as much difference as a bug hitting the windshield.

joddie

yes for safety reasons

I think that talking on a hand-set while driving should be illegal. But if you have handsfree technology and are using it, then that should be legal. Afterall, using a headset isn't much different than talking to your buddy riding shotgun. Note: This is actually a regulation in the Air Force.

Almost all phones have speaker phone or hands free talking. I feel hands free should be enforced. I do not have a problem with people talking while interstate driving, but when driving in a city, there are too many other distractions lane changing, etc. Really, how often is the conversation really that important?

It wouldn't be fair to the people who can drive responsible with a cell phone..But for those who get distracted by it easily...They could use their common sense? o.O

hell freaking yes.

not only do cell riders drive slow but they dont give a rats about the other drivers specially the ones that are on the cell phones and singing at the same time. yes you ive seen you....that's why nerds invented the bluetooth ear piece USEEE ITTT.

A responsable driver does not uses his or hers cell phone while driving. THAT IS COMMON SENSE

I think they ought to make them illegal period. They have gone way to far with this toy, that's all they are really. We lived for years without the need to have a phone stuck in our ear for hours, and life was better, we had person to person in person conversations. And kids went to school and never had to use a phone unless it was an emergency. You want to talk about a drain on our economy along with all the extra energy they consume and the satellites polluting our atmosphere, and all this for a mere $100.00 a month. I remember when they only charged .03 a minute for a phone call, why should they cost more now? They don't even have lines to maintain, they're a bigger rip off than ENRON

Anyone who says that it shoud not be illegal is an idiot and needs to have their license permanently revoked. The fact is that IS illegal in almost every state, and is called a "distracted driving" ticket. It includes everything from applying makeup to eating and drinking. In New York it is a $500 ticket for the first offense and 4 points on your license. A second offense within three years gets you a one year suspension, and possible jail time.
It is just plain irresponsible, and stupid to talk on your cell phone and drive at the same time.
