It's already a law in Chicago that you can only talk on a cell phone while driving if you're using a hands free device. It will be interesting to see if the driving statistics change at all over time. I believe that it's a useful law and I have nothing against it. I can't tell you how many times I've watched people do stupid things on the road with a phone in their hand. However, many of those people would likely be bad drivers cell phone or not, and that doesn't do anything for the people eating on the road, changing clothes, doing makeup, etc etc. The sad truth is that there will always be dumb drivers. But at least this takes one small step towards trying to solve the problem.
