True, hands free headsets are the way to go. It frees up your hand to drink your coffee and have a donut while checking the latest line in the sports section. This way when talking to the bookie you don't have to put anything down and can keep driving to work.

I agree, but where do ya draw the line. Will the next thing be no coffee while driving? No smoking while driving? No picking your nose while driving? No talking to a passanger while driving? Sometimes it seems like big brother is being too over protective. After all we do live in a democracy..  |

Point is when people talk on the phone....they zone out...get tunnel vision......it happens to everyone whether you choose to believe it or not. The guy I saw pull out in traffic today had a look on his face like "Hey, what the hell am I doing in the middle of this street....that car almost hit me!".......oh well....it doesn't really matter what I think anyway.....friggin politicians are gonna vote with whatever makes their stocks rise! |

Same thing happens to some people when they listen to the radio while driving.

Mac, you can drive barefoot but it's already a law that you can't drive while eating |

Actually no, unless they changed the laws. Your feet have to be covered. |

Today people thing beer etc that would now called DUI
It still may be a law ?

If people just had some common sense as to when to use their phone and when NOT to use their phone we wouldn't even need laws like this.
Intense driving you don't use your phone. Trying to make a challenging left? Might be time to hang up. Back roads by yourself? No problem...
