This morning they said that Obama was looking into prohibiting the use of texting while driving and may even looking into banning the use of cell phones, while driving.


Can I start jumping for joy now?


As a 13 year commuter on a heavily packed freeway, that gets worse all the time, I can vouch for the danger that cell phone use causes on the freeways. I can pretty much guarantee that if there is a problem on the freeway, it's because a driver is on the phone!


Heck...just plain old parking lots can be a hazard when you share it with someone on a phone. I have almost been hit and/or run over because someone was one their phone.


Please...hang up and drive!  I SO hope this ban because law!

Amen! I have to walk just about everywhere. People on their cells usually are headed right for me.

People either need to Talk or Drive. But not at the same time.

Like I mentioned before, it seems so silly that our government has to waste time, money and energy developing laws to regulate stupid behavior in otherwise intelligent people.


I've come to believe there is nothing ruder in this world than a person with a cell phone. Public restrooms, for crying out loud?!?!?
