This is really crazy!

I am not against phones having features on them, what is wrong is how and when the phone is used. That is just insane that someone would twitter or fb while driving. I guess if you are stopped at a long train it's one thing, but while you are driving? I do know people who text while driving and it is pretty scary for me to think they may be coming down the road any minute if I may be walking someplace.

any body that uses a phone while driving to text etc etc should be banned from driving, but saying that I also think messing with the stereo takes your attention of driving, there is still a lot of people that still use their mobile phones while driving even a hands free kit can be a nuisance as I don't think its the act of say answering your phone thats the problem its the concentration in chatting or texting etc etc that is the problem. How many of us have had a fab song on the radio and sang to it then not remembered the last few miles of a journey as you go into auto pilot lol,

It is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving yet everyone seems to ignore this and carry on as usual. I have seen people yapping away on their phones which driving, not taking any notice of the road and not keeping total control of the vehicle. I have seen people sending texts while driving, even more lethal but again they couldn't care less. It is illegal, but I have yet to see anyone stopped by the Police *sighs* and those that might be stopped generally seem to receive a fine and nothing more.

talking and sms ing is bad enough but Twitter and facebook and I am sure there any many other things people do. I saw a man watching live tv on his mobile (SPORT). there should be suspension of licence for x amount of time for using phone.

Crazy as it is, but it's not something we can stop.. MOst phones now are having internet features in them!! haha =D IT's the responsibilities of the drivers to ensure safety on the road.. THey can be fined, be jailed, but if they dun learn the lessons on others or themselves, then what else can we do??

They are adding laws here in most states that make that, and other distracted driving activities, illegal. Will it stop everyone? No, because anyone who does that is a selfish idiot!

There have been so many accidents and so many people killed when the driver of a car was distracted by a mobile phone call or was texting at the time of the accident. In Canada the Province of Ontario where I live finally passed a law that forbids the use of mobile phones while driving. There was a grace period where people just got warnings. thank heavens this is now over and if you are caught the fine is $ 500. Handfree devices such as Bluetooth are still allowed.

i would agree. you know everyday we do encounter people driving so slow and is being an obstruction just because they are texting!! these shameless people!! causing so much trouble if they get others into an accident and also them causing traffic all the time. i know they are already banned but since no one has actually caught one so people do not learn!! this should be strictly implemented!!

I think it's crazy to talk vocally on your phone while driving, much less type on Facebook and twitter. I don't drive my wheelchair while doing any of those things. Hoe can you think it's okay to drive a multi-thousand pound car. You can't be sane to do that?

Yes, I have read that and having been a driver for more than 40 years, I really can't understand drivers who do such dangerous and irresponsible things. Texting and updating Twitter has got to be crazy because you have to look at what text you are putting in, and it only takes second to kill somebody on the road. My mobile phone is switched off whilst I am driving. I have hands free, but that can be distracting too and I think pretty soon, they will make that illegal as they did using the handset. _Derek

for me, as long as the car is on stop, it is fine with me texting or surfing behind the wheels. i don't see any wrong with cellphones with internet features. i guess it's a good thing that even out of the computer, we can surf and update our twitter and facebook status.

Yes, I agree with you. Those drivers guilty of it are downright insane. What could be more important than safety when on the road? These inconsiderate drivers pose as a menace both to themselves and to other road users. Fortunately, in my country, it is an offence to use the phone while driving. Offenders could be fined or have their driving license revoked.

I really don't mind phones having the internet features but it is wrong that drivers should use them for that while operating their vehicle. However I have seen people in traffic putting make up on in the drivers mirror or reading a map or some other thing on the seat beside them which is just as dangerous.

"a plane can crash" giving such statement can you ban the planes, obviously not so how can you be that rude to mobile phones anyhow everything can be used destructively think to the positive portion of such mobile phones...its our responsibility to use them constructively...imposing a ban is not a solution....

I can't believe people are actually stupid enough to send text messages etc. while DRIVING!!! It's one thing to be dumb enough to take one's hands off the wheel, but to take one's eyes off of the road? Both are dumb moves on the part of the driver, and can be fatal alone, but combined? That's just an accident asking to happen!

I hate phones period. But it seems that everyone else uses their phones everywhere.You would think they would have the sense to not call or text and drive but they don't The Only way I see this changing is as an reaction to losing someone special to a fatal car accident.

Hi Ronald Well I am Britiish/UK but don't drive..am grateful I don't..it is against the law to ue your mobile over here but it is amazing how many people still do and it doesn't surprise me they do idiotic things like what the paper says that is one thing I can easily beleive to be true. All I do know and am thankful for is that my son will not use or answer his mobile when driving-which a long time ago he was guilty of and texting/sms at the same time-now though his whole attitude to it has changed and it would be good to hear of and see other drivers doing the same...LoLo

Hi ronaldinu, That is just being a idiot doing that, it is against the law to use your mobile whlie driving, so if these people are doing, they may cause accident, I don't care if they kill themslves, but its the innocents that get hurt from idiots like them. Tamara

He must be really insane. Doing stupid things first than his welfare. Such a waste of time. :) He must be then recognized this faults.

I agree with you, but I don't think phones that have internet feature. Unless you want go everywhere with a laptop when you need some information!
