Typical Response: Ban It!

Yes, people talking on cell phones while driving IS a problem. I, myself, was a victim of a woman who turned left in front of me while talking on a cell phone. She hit me dead center and totaled my car, doing minor damage to hers. But the solution is not to punish EVERYBODY. The solution is to apply harsher penalties to those at fault in accidents proven to be involving people EITHER talking on cell phones, or texting. Thus punishing the people RESPONSIBLE, not everybody. There are situations where talking on a cell phone, at least for a few moments, is necessary. Naturally, a FEW people take advantage and spend HOURS driving with a cell phone screwed into their ears. But BANNING any cell phone use while driving is not the answer. Especially not doing it by bureaucratic dictat. (The Blaze)
