Do you think talking on a cell phone while driving should be baned?

Yes because there are,too many accidents.

Yes,yes and yes! The very worst are the ones that pull out in front of you without even looking..cause that's the side they're holding the phone on! Uggggh,it just makes me so mad.

I absolutely agree-it should banned. I know there are laws and fines in certain states/towns, but what would REALLY make a difference is if police started restricting driver's licenses and actually TAKING cell phones away from people. I wish they take them both and those people wouldn't get them back for at least 5 years. That's how much I hate it when people talk while driving.

congrats, i wish you and the new baby great health and happy days!

Studies about cell-phone use while driving have focused on several different aspects of the problem. Some have looked at its prevalence as the leading cause of driver distraction. Others have looked at the different risks associated with hand-held and hands-free devices. Still others have focused on the seriousness of injuries in crashes involving cell-phone users and the demographics of drivers who use cell phones

daum this is like so tru , ive driven while talking on the cell, its really bad. when i get off the phone its like i finally notice that i was talking on the phone and my attention wasnt really on the road, i think it should be banned. when im driving i see other people on the phone and they are honked at when they arent paying attention. hahahaha this happens so much i see it everywhere. well i think this stuff should be banned. yep yep, seriously, i heard the no cell phone while drving policy is gonna take affect by 2008

In Italy it's illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving and keeping the phone by hand: using a hands-free car kit or a headset is legal. I think they should be all illegal because all of them cause distraction.

Absolutely yes, at least while holding the phone. Headsets and blue tooth at least allow the driver to keep both hands concentrated on the wheel, which I think helps keep the head there too. But really, it would be preferable if the phone conversations waited for home. We all survived before cell phones, didn't we?

Yes I do. I haven't been hit by someone while they are talking on the phone, but it is very annoying how the speed limit is 45 and they are doing 30 and I am stuck behind them. Or how the light turns green and you have to sit there until it is about to turn yellow because the person in front is on the phone not paying any attention. It should be banned. I thank God that me or anyone in my family has not been in an accident by someone who was on the phone, but I get to see or hear on the news of all the fatal accidents of people that were hit by someone who was on the phone. And too me, it doesn't matter if you have the "hands free" headset or not, either way your attention is taken away from driving and anything can happen.

Well cell phones are distracting and it's been banned here, but i've heard stories of people applying make up, getting dressed and eating their breakfasts while driving!

I agree I think that cell phones should be banned while driving I mean I have sen plenty of times when drivers are not paying attention to what they are going because of talking on their cell phone.

Yes absolutely. YOu cannot concentrate on driving while calling. Driving demands full concentration. One should not be allowed to put others life in danger.

i think in every state it should be baned. I mean I have all most been hit many times. People just do not watch what they are doing well they are talking on the phone.

It is illegal to talk on a cellphone and drive in Namibia. The traffic dept fines you on the spot when they catch you doing it. It is a good thing, as it diverts a lot of attention from the road.

yes i think so, it is dangerous for all the motorist for those kind of habbit. greetings. : )

I think it should because most people cannot multi task well.

I definently think it should be banned. People don't pay full attention to the road, they get carried away with their conversation and they cause accidents. I think there should be a huge fine for people who drive and talk on cell phones. I have actually seen articles where people on their cell phones haven't paid attention and hit people. I read an article a few years back about a woman who was so busy yacking on her phone she swerved on the sidewalk and hit a small child, it killed the kid.

i think so sometimes it gives you distraction

YES! On base, it's banned except if you have a headset and only in civilian vehicles. No talking on cells in a government vehicle unless it's parked and off. Compared to past months, the base has been much safer. There was even an incident where two airmen were talking on their cells and crashed into each other. And they went even driving! One was walking/running and the other was either on a bike or roller blading. Can't remember.

It's illegal to drive and talk on cell phone in Sigapore, unless it's hands-free. Imagine theres a situation where you need to control the steering wheel and you only have one hand on it...accident is bound to happen one day...
