i am all for it. I drive a small car and you have to be paying attention to keep from hitting me when you're in an excursion with 9 kids in the back and a cell phone in your hand. I've had more close calls than i care to recall and every single one of them was with someone holding a cell phone in their hand. Generally, they simply swerve or don't give right of way or straight up run redlights.
agggggravating.
and rekna, it's not just the convo that causes the problems, it's the convo, use of hands, and use of more mental power to visualize the person you're talking to. when there is someone in a car, you don't use much of your imagination for the convo bc there is a focal point, when you're on a phone, you're constantly imaging that person in your mind, which is distracting. Also, looking over to push buttons, look up names, dial numbers, check messages, send text messages, etc is MUUUCUCCHCH more distracting than pushing buttons on a radio or talkign to a passenger.
not that kids in the back are any better than cell phones..
Then again, there were talks of bannign radios in cars bc they proved to be too distracting for drivers.
