I do drive while talking on a cellphone, but whenevr I do that I make sure I slow down my car and drive in the extreme left lane.. Sometimes, when its extremely important, I just stop my car and then speak...

I never attend any phone calls when i am driving. I do take a look at the number and if it is important i simply park the vehicle at the side and then talk on my mobile before begining my drive again. I feel it is not a question of following the law only rather it is for ones own safety.

I try and avoid using my cell phone while driving my car. Before starting my car, ff I am expecting a call, I use my hands free set and request the caller to hold on until I can safely park my car, and then I speak with him/her. Please note, since I mostly have someone or the other sitting next to me while I am driving, I generally don't have to use the cell phone at that time.

Even at the time of driving the two wheeler, if i happen to receive calls i used to stop a bit and answer the calls or if it is not possible to answer it during the time of travel, i use the Call Divert facility provided by the service provider. As of me, i try to follow the rules to the maximum possible times, than expecting others to follow it.

Here in the Philippines we also have a law that prohibits using or answering your cellphone while driving, that is if the driver is the one using the phone. But, I too have seen many people violating this ordinance and also am guilty of this for sometime. But now I, refrain from answering or texting (sms) while I drive. What I do is pullover the side of the road and do the texting or talking over the cellphone. There are many accidents cause by using the cellphone while driving and the life that would be save maybe your own or a love one.

Hi, This I had also seen and not only that I also seen those police men watching this and finally getting hold only on those below certain price range cars. I hope if law is implemented it has to obeyed unless in exemptional cases according to seriousness and urgency involved. Still this can be adjusted if they use ear phone or wireless ear phone or other technology that prevents then rather hadling those mobile phones directly by their hands. It also effects the concentration part too. In driving I hope all our body parts are most needed.

I don't drive a car. But I know driving a car when you are on phone can be fatal. You should use hands-free or stop the car and then talk on the cell

In Europe I think it's prohibited to do like that. Police can stop you and can write you a ticket that you have to pay. I don't know how much, but somebody ever said to me that i can be 200 Euro that you need to pay.

You are a law abiding citizen and i wish so many people would follow your foot steps and have the same respect for the law and above all save lives. Talking on the cell phone while driving is also one of the highest car accident causes. People should think safety first when they drive or get a hand free system for their phone if they are really dying to be one a cell phone every second.
