What do you think about attending mobile calls while driving on highway. I use motorcyle for local commuting. I use to stop and park the vechile while attending a call. So many accidents happen by distracion casued. Traffic official keep on advising not to attend calls while driving. But many people neglect that and cause injuries or even death not only to themselves but to others.

I live in New Jeresey, USA and it's against the law to use them unless you have a devise to not have to hold the phone in your hands while driving. I've seen people almost get run over while walking across the street because they were so involved in a conversation. I think people use them too much. Wait until you're home for the socializing calls.I think you can still get distracted even with the ear pieces, especially if the conversation is not a good one, like your spouse arguing with you while you're driving.

Well hands free would be an excellent choice.. But, sometimes, that can be deadly. When talking on the cell phone while driving, it is best to just let your voice mail pick up, or just have your phone turned off.. To me, it is just best not to be on the phone wile driving because it could be very dangerous. If a person really needs to talk, then they should just pullover on the side of the road.. Or park there car, in a parking lot, and begin to talk then..

Hi there and welcome to myLot! It's true that a lot of motor accidents occur because the driver is not paying attention to the road. Someone even ALMOST ran over me while I was crossing the street because he was talking on his cellphone! Of course it gave me a scare so I gave the driver the evil eye. I think using bluetooth would be the best solution. You can still use your mobile phone to make phone calls but at least you can hold on to the wheel.
