Everyone should use hands free.. end of story.. don't be dumb..

I got hit some years ago by a guy who was looking at a map.

My neighbor got hit last year by a woman putting on eye shadow.

My GOP lobbyist friend got hit by someone who stated his groceries were falling off the front passenger seat on to the floor board and he couldn't look up while grabbing his groceries.

It's not really the CELL PHONE causing the accidents!!! It's a mental problem with people driving heavy machinery and distracting themselves at the same time.

Are we going to pass a law saying you can't eat a sandwich while driving too?

Think people think!!!

Vote Republican

Have we gotten to the point where we have to have someone tell us what to do at all times, or are we scared to go outside alone so we have to keep the phone pressed to our ear 24/7. just wait im sure it will only be a few years before we can have a chip implanted just behind the ear. Hang up the phone, can you hear me now. Did you know that if you cause an accident while talking/texting on the phone, yes texting , you know as well as i do that some clown out ther will be holding the steering wheel. with his or her leg, let a savy attorney get your phone records and see if you are in good hands.

If enforced it would be a great law. It would reduce accidents. I really doubt it would be enforced. On I-85/I-75 you very seldom see a Atlanta police officer stopped and out of his/her car. In Fayette County the most mundane offenses are ever stopped. How many times have you ever seen a law enforcement car not use a turn signal? How many time have you seen autos with expired tags let alone improperly displayed. Even minor offences could boost the treasury to some extent. Just a random thought.

I could not agree with you more..

Georgia is working on making it illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to use cell phones, etc. while driving. Yawn? Why are we wasting our time with this. The majority of people I see talking on the phone while driving haven't seen 18 for quite sometime!

I am not a fan of hands-free units either. You can see it in the stores. People tend not to pay attention or block the aisles. A couple of weeks back, my 5 year old pointed out to me a older lady arguing (what appeared to be) with herself. I had to explain to my daughter that the lady was actually on the telephone and it was not all that long ago that someone like this would be locked up in a rubber room. Thanks to technology, we can no longer identify who is really nuts and who isn't.

Sigh!! Those were the days!

for the record, I am one of the earliest adopters of cell phones and still own one today. It sits in my glove box 95% of the time shut off. I only use it in case of emergency or really need to speak with someone about something important. I am not someone who you will ever find standing in the produce aisle on the phone asking if it is okay to buy the bananas with 3 black spots on them instead of just 2.
