The average person has his or her phone on while s/he drives. S/he has a parent or child or friend to talk to. Yet, it becomes unsafe. People talk more than they drive, lose concentration, and crash. Sometimes it cost lives or abilities. Do you think that people should be allowed to talk and drive simoutaneously?

I say no. I think it'll be ok for people to just put down the phone, drive, get to the necessary destination, and then talk. What would our world be then?

It sort of depends on what type of a person you are dealing with, some people can only do one thing at a time and that's hard enough for them. Other people can do several things at one time, without losing concentration.

I wouldn't know what to do, best to just leave things how they are now. Or make some sort of a law up for only talking with a head set or something, who knows.

I don't think they should outlaw talking on the phone when driving, but I do think they should make it a law that you have to use a headset, that way atleast both of your hands are on the wheel and you have better ability to control the car. Both my parents have cell phones and talk on them when they drive and they haven't even come close to wrecking while talking on them. But I have seen other people come close. I agree that it depends on the person, don't punish everyone for a few morons mistake.

hand-held cellphone+driving=bad.,

Headsets can be alright though.

I dont think people should it is not safe :O

On the phone? No. Stupid really..

Then again that is going against the 1st amendment, the freedom of speech :P

Funny ;)

Freedom of speech means that you don't get arrested for saying something like "the Holocaust never happened", which would happen in Germany.

I am new here and I could find a place to intoduce myself so I thought I would just jump in. About the cell phone issue well its illegal in New York but not in Florida I think is should be illegal everywhere. The first amendment says freedom to say whatever you want it doesnt say anything about talking on a cell phone. Also no one is perfect and you cannot think talk and drive all at once its not possible. I dont need to get my bones crushed because some idiot called someone on ther cell phone. <_<

There is a clause somewhere, if expressing any of your rights results in the loss of another person's rights, then in that instance, that right can be taken away.

For example, if you yelled fire in a movie theature, that would cause a danger to other people, and other people have a right not to be in danger.

Sounds complicated, but it's simple.

its for sure isn't safe, but some ppl run a business from their mobile, handsfree is alright, but alot of crashes are from when people are typing the buttons on their handsfree to ring someone...

Cell phones + Driving = Big Trouble

Actually Nir, it is if what you say may harm them or infringe on their rights then your freedom of speech is considered less important than public safety and welfare.

It's illegal over here in England, but it's hard for the police to catch the lawbreakers doing it.
