What do you think about cell phone while driving?

[2getherwewin]

I think it should be against the law because it causes a lot of accidents. You on your driving and others driving.

I think as long as you are hands free device or a bluetooth it's fine. Texting is another story...

I think using cell phones while driving is dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians.

[sgluckadoo]

Distractions of any kind while driving are potentially dangerous. People should have better sense than to use phones, read, have headphones in, eat, etc. while driving.

Its dangerous while driving especially if you don't have an ear piece.  A lot of people can't really drive correctly without a cell phone and then they stupidly start a cell conversation without benefit of an ear piece.  They passed the law here that those driving without an ear piece will be fined, yet the police never enforce the law.  The insanity continues on.

"Texting is another story"

Yes it is.

  I think that they are more dangerous than Driving under the influence of Alcohol or Drugs!!

It's very irresponsible to text when you're driving. What is it sooooo important that you HAVE to send the message while driving? If it's so important, please pull over and do whatever you need to do to get things done.

  Driving while using a cell phone or texting is just WRONG  WRONG  WRONG  !!!

I believe its against the law here in WA and Oregon for people to use their cell phone. Then again, I still see many people still using their cell phone behind the wheel. Oh well, people never listen or obey the law.

Using your cell phone while driving is so stupid, but that person won't understand this until it happens to them.  I think Oprah did do a great jobs about bringing this to the public.  We still need to do more.  Maybe if the police give out more tickets it would help.

People who use cell phones whille driving should get a penalty or more. Those people only care about themselves and not the people they will hurt

[smithjcsdfw]

It is definately a distraction.  But I am not sure that there needs to be laws against such a practice.   Might be better to create a vehicle that does not allow cell phones to work while the vehicle is engaged.

Hands-free devices are ok. Thank God CA has a law that requires this.

Funny thing is that I learned about some studies in a psychology class that the impairment is the same whether you have the cell phone to your head or have a bluetooth because the person on the other end cannot help you avoid obstacles. Best thing to do is avoid it in stressful driving conditions all together. Personally I hardly use my phone when driving.
