How do you feel about using cell phone when driving?

[Elizabethar]

I have mix feelings.

I strongly advise all my friends not to use their mobiles while driving. It's not only distracting, it's like taking risk with your life as well as others' too.
If it's a must you have to take the call, I think that you should use your hands-free/Bluetooth or at least get off the road and do it.

If I have to, then I will use my cell phone while I'm driving.

Oregon has a law that you must have hands free while driving as of the first of the new year.

Our state doesn't have a law about it yet, but I do know that my friend got a ticket for driving while using her cell phone. She lives in the next county over, so they must have some kind of law that is just in that county.

I personally am glad that they outlawed it here in California....there are some real nut jobs that can not do 2 things at the same time......but what really gets me are the ones that try to push a shopping cart and yap on the cell phone in the stores      seems I always get behind them at one place or another

Any person that talks on a cell phone while driving is foolishly and recklessly gambling with other people's lives.

I do not think that anyone should be allowed to drive while talking a cell phone. My state passed a law that makes talking on cell phone a secondary offense where if you get pulled over for another reason and you are also talking on the phone then you can get a ticket for talking on the cell phone.

I am totally against it.  People are not focused on their driving while on the phone.  A lot of people cannot multitask, and this type of multitasking  is dangerous for everyone.  Hopefully the Police will fully enforce this law that is suppose to be in place.  People are very stupid and think an accident can't happen because they are talking on the phone and not paying full attention to all around them.

I think all States should have a law against it and enforce the law. Illinois has it and people still do it because they think the cops won't bother. My Sisiter is one of them. I won't ride in the car with her anymore.

New York has a law against it.  I agree with it.  Most phones come with hands free sets nowawdays anyway, why not just use it?

[ivyruefthaler1]

i don't think it should be allowed because if someone is driving and talking on a cell phone than obviously you are going to cause a crash, so i dont believe in that what so ever.

[lynnc35]

I dont even think a doctor who works in an emergency room should be talking on a phone while driving, they should go back to pagers and only make them legal, but then people would use them to use their phone to make a call, so yeah, how would you feel if your child was in a car, innocent, and another drier was yakken, and not paying attention, and now your child is dead, do we have to wait for this to have to all the senators and politicians who make the laws to get this stopped.

It's not a good thing.  If you must drive and talk, at least use a hands-free device.

Anything that distracts from driving while driving, should be avoided.
