What really blows me away is why were people not smart enough to know this in the first place.Wonder how we got by for 100 years prior to this foolishness.

I think it’s harder to eat a big Mac and fries while driving than sending a text. I would know im obese. Why would using a hand held devise while driving be banned but not eating while driving?

This however does not prevent us from using the devices as it is only for those who are holding them while driving... safety first! i personally think this is well implemented seeing as people’s lives are potentially in danger. ignorant people who do get into accidents and cause a death cannot reverse the results and therefore should be strictly enforced.

People who drive and are being distracted by their handhelds should be ticketed. I just wish that they had no grace period whatsoever...ok maybe 2 weeks notice. These folks drive absolutely horribly when theyre on their phones and its not just the women but men as well which is actually quite surprising. why is this lame?

Assume the drivers were not on their cell phones... what happens when you add that to the equation. I believe there are many people capable of talking and driving and doing so safely. Unfortunately, I also believe those are the minority. Those that are upset because THEY can do it, is understandable. But the reality is most people cannot. Take pride in that you can multitask but lead by example and get out those bluetooth devices. In the past week I’ve seen 3 minor fender benders.
