What is your view on driving while talking on a cell-phone?  

It is very hard to let voice mail just answer it. Also it is hard to just pull off and lanswer it.

But It is hard to drive and hold the phone at the same time. I do agree that is wear most accidents happen. you get caught up in a conversation loose thought and dont react in enough time.

They are trying to get the law passed hear.

My other thoughts were when this first came out. What about the smokers taking both hands off the wheel to light a cigaret and one hand on the wheel while smoking? Just curiouse I know its not the same but is it jursdiction?

Hi Canowyrms,

I totally agree with you. This is one of the most annoying things there is. I get so ticked off when someone is driving too slow or just being careless because they are talking on their cell phone. It is dangerous and should be against the law. I don't even understand why they want to. I don't even answer mine when I am driving. Whoever it is can wait till I am at my destination. There is nothing worth causing an accident and maybe injuring someone or even worse killing them.

Thanks for the post:)

I actually do believe that we should follow the laws that have been placed and not use a cell phone while driving. I know that this law has passed in most places and is being heavily enforced and it is in my opinion a very good safety measure that has been placed. An accident can happen in a split second when the driver is either reaching for their phone or even dialing. The best way to avoid putting our lives or someone else's life in danger is to either not use the phone while driving entirely or to use a hands-free bluetooth headset.

i personally think that it is a little irresponsible to drive while chatting on the phone, it is better to pull over to the side of the road. i say this because if you are on the phone this means that you are only using one hand to drive, and even if you are a great driver, there are other drivers on the road and some of them are not so great. so it is important that you have both hands free in the case of you needing to steer yourself out of the way of danger, accidents can happen in a split second.

To be honest ts not the most smartest thing to do. But all of us are urged to grab the phone and answer it whereever we are. Even with rules on not talking whilst driving dont prove that effective, people talk handsfree now. So bottom line is if you are going to talk on the phone whilest driving, your going to do it irrespective of laws or whatever. i guess whats will urge the driver to stop and pull over to talk on the phone might be curtiacy and safety for other users.

That is one of the very worst driver distractions. Granted there are many others but this is one a person can control. To me, it's silly and dangerous for people to continue doing it. Nobody needs to yak that bad.

Hi Canowyrms,
I do also have a probleme with peoples who talk on their phone while driving,but i have to admit i do anwser my phone sometime.I,how ever never call someone when i'm driving...That would be dumb!But what bug me most is the texting,who is stupid enough to think that they can drive a car,watch for peoples,light,stops and all while looking down at a phone texting?I see peoples all the time driving 20 in a 55 zone because they are so busy writing they don't even pay attention to nothing else.

I'm looking forward to see this law passed everywhere. If you really need to take calls while you are in a car get a hands free device. They are easy enough to get and you can get an inexpensive model. There are just too many highway deaths because someone was juggling the phone talking and try to drive at the same time.

I'm strongly against driving while talking on a cell-phone.Because the driver can not concentrate on driving.This is very dangerous,many accidents happened due to this. In China this is forbidden by law.But still many drivers don't abide by the law.I hope the regulatory department will punish or fine the drivers who talking on phone while driving more seriously.

i think talking on the phone or texting while driving should prohibit as it can cause accident many accident that had happen due to cellphone using while driving. just to make sure your safe in the road you should not use your phone while your driving, because its either you or other people might get hurt or even tragic incident will happen so lets be safe and no phone using while driving.
happy mylotting!!!
