driving and talking on cell phones

AMEN! I asked my other half to put a brush guard on my Blazer so the next time I was behind a person talking and not driving I could run them to the curb. I think if we all did this most would pull over when using a cell phone!!;l p.s. I love your avitar. I have the same pic and others by Vallejo!!

me and my friends got into an accident becasue some jerk behind us was on his cell phone and dropped it. then tried to pick it up and hit us!!!!

I just had a teller at a store here answer her cell phone while ringing me up. I thought it was very rude. I'm tempted to send an anynomous letter to the store about it....I don't want to get her in trouble before the holidays. But its ignorant to talk on the phone while you're waiting on a customer!

If you think those people talking loudly on the cellphone is noisy & irritating, you probably have not encountered those who 'shares' the music they are listening to with everyone in the subway!!! They turn the volume so loud that you can even hear them 2 carriages away!!!! Then there is also another breed of irritating buggers who likes to keep themselves entertained while in the subway but playing through all the different types of ringtones they have in their cellphone!!

You'll get a $90.00 fine if you get caught in NY State driving while on the cell phone, and the fine doubles if you're caught again. By me they actually do ticket people regularly. I agree with you about people talking on the phones in restaurants or in lines at stores. Or how about someone standing in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store yakking away! Can you even imagine how unbearable a plane flight would be if they allowed cell phones? I love my cell phone and use it a lot, but I obey the laws about driving, and I am conscious to be considerate of others when talking on the phone.

no i do not agree i have a phone when i drive i do not talk on it. I only use it for if a crash or something like that. I do not answer my phone when i drive what you do is put it of to the side on silent and wait till you get to where you have to go.

In India, particularly in Bangalore, the Police Department has over 100,000 mobiles phones seized from the people who were using it while driving. They refuse the pay the penalty and hence the seizure. But the enforcement is not strictly done. It is not only people who drive the vehicles use the mobile, it is also those who walk on the road (instead of footpath) and those who cross the road elsewhere other than zebra crossing are to be booked. When they cross the road, they get engrossed so much in talk they do not look at the vehicles passing in front or back of them. Many accidents do happen. People are using mobile phones with total disregard to the public traffic. I have written a letter to editor of newspaper and many readers have agreed,but the police have no time to catch these culprits and enforce the law. It is really pity.

I'm one of those people that drives great while on the phone.. and to answer your questoin of why people do it. Ever think that maybe theyre trying to get directions somewhere?

well , lol , now you can talk at cell phones ... using headphones or bluetooth hands free :D lol , that`s why it`s called a cell phone ... u know ... you have it at yo because in case of any problems, buisness or anything else, you can be called...

i have. my brother have driven and was talking on the phone. and i was literally shouting at him to stop it and concentrate on the road.

I never answer my phone while I am driving unless there is a safe place to park. If I hadn't got a phone them people would have to wait until I return home. What annoys me also, when people with whom I am speaking, answer the phone in the middle of a conversation. I think it is very rude to interrupt our conversation to speak to somebody else.

imagine if you were waiting for an urgent call and you got the call when you were driving.well i dont think you would cut that call and continue.even you would continue to talk.

People are able to have conversations with other people in a car without causing adverse driving conditions. So, I think it should be mandatory that if you would like to talk on your phone while driving, you must use a hands free set. People seen driving while holding their phone should definitely get a ticket. I am so sick of driving around people that I think are sick, drunk, or too old to drive just to find out they were on the phone. Personally, I tell people that I am driving and will call them back when I arrive at my destination. Everyone understands and it's never questioned.

Remember that if caught talking on the cellular phone while driving, you can be fined

ya had that exp me too so many ppl losing their life like that still ppl dont understand .awareness must b created

just a couple days ago my roommate and i were driving on the highway here in Calif. we were passed by a woman driving a small car. as she passed i was shocked to see that she was talking on a cell phone held in her right hand and in the hand holding the steering wheel, she was holding a take out tray of food and eating at the same time. she was going from side to side in the lane she was driving in...an accident waiting to happen!!!!! WHY DO PEOPLE DO SUCH STUPID THINGS?????

driving and talking on the cell phone is too dangerous for the other people walking or driving on the road.

Great discussion. I agree with you. This drives me crazy, the other day in all this christmas shopping rush there was a person trying to back into her spot and talk on the phone at the same time. She never made it into the spot, ended up blocking traffic. I to was Pi----.

It should be banned. It's dangerous.

i dont think people should talk and drive i used to but i couldnt do both cause i would miss my turn and i didnt pay attention to were i was going or what the other drivers were doing because i was involed in my conversation and in chicago they are pretty tough on that its a law there now
