I normally don't use the cellphone while on the road but have on occasion and I find myself so distracted that I didn't even remember the streets going home. Definitely a disaster waiting to happen.

I read an article one that said someone driving while on their cell phone is the equivalent of someone driving while under the influence of alcohol and I sure believe. I've been behind people doing 25-30 in a 45 because they're on the phone too busy chatting instead of driving. The best part is when they get mad at you for going around them like its your problem.

It's usually a female driving some huge SUV in the mall parking lot! And she is also usually screaming at her kids at the same time! In my opinion, get done with the conversation BEFORE you pull out of your parking space!

They should allow summary flogging of every tenth offender for this. That might encourage the others.

I don't have a cell phone, but my husband does, and it drives me absolutely batty when I'm talking to him and he says "I'm in the car, I'll call you back," and hangs up. Well, if you're busy driving, why don't you just put your phone on voice mail???? Why even try to answer it right away????

A lot of things can be very distracting and dangerous while driving. Cell phones, eating, putting makeup on, and even reading. Paying attention is a very important quality.

I don't think that this is the worst thing.
For example, drivers that suddenly slow down and pull over to answer to their cell phones are way more dangerous than those who use their cellphones while driving.
In addition, having a conversation with a passanger can be as distracting as using a cellphone.

I would consider this a bad habit, although some people can pull it off better than others. I tend not to answer my phone or make calls while I'm driving, and am apt to pull over to talk if I deem it necessary. But it is definitely distracting and it should be discouraged. Although, I'm not sure about these laws popping up that make doing this a misdemeanor punishable by fine. I can understand if they're all over the road, but if no other moving violation is being commited then I can't see the reason for it other than to fill the coffers for some fiscally reckless county.

This should be banned dudes. Nothing but accidents will come out of this bad habit. If you must use a cellphone just pull over and you might save some lives.

royal pain in the neck. these selfish jerks are so into themselves they do not care if they may cause an accident. I see it all of the time. they either are not paying attention, or they slow way down and putter while they yak on the phone. oblivious to anyone but themselves.

Shut up and drive, people, and stop making my brothers' insurance rates so high.

Makes me think of the bumper sticker, "Could you drive any better if I shoved that cell phone up your ass?"

I Honestly feel that it isn't as bad as everyone thinks.... I have seen more accidents, not related to cellphones than not. I just feel that this gives many people something to complain about. Bad drivers are just that, cell phones are everyone elses scapegoat.

There are many mangled angels standing by St. Peter's gates with a cell phone in their hand. Then there's me in my rental car this week, calling somebody while driving, leaving it in the coffee cup holder and then leaving it in the car when I turned it in.

Driving while talking on a cellphone with one hand is dangerous! People need to pay attention on the road.

People drive bad enough as it is. Do we really need more distractions?

I'll admit this is a bad driving habit yet I often end up doing this. BUT, I try to get those hand free phone devices and make sure that I don't drive while I'm angry as a result of a phone conversation I have going on. Because if I don't I really am a risk to everyone's safety.

I usually do not talk on my cell phone while I am driving because it can become distracting and dangerous, but I occasionaly slip up here and there.

This annoys me to no end. Since most people are incapable of doing more than one thing, while on a phone; I don't understand why it is that they think they are capable of driving and using their phones at the same time.

This is the most dangerous driving habit at all I think. Your attention is off the road, and yur only driving with one hand.

Definately the worst. Talking on these damn things promotes other terrible driving manuvers that piss people off. Shut up and drive already!!!!!

Irritating as hell. Count on them to miss what is going on around them. I hear a lot of people claim they can drive as well with a cellphone in one hand as they can ordinarily, but then I have to wonder how badly they drive ordinarily.

This can be up there with drunk driving. I've seen countless people run reds because they are talking on the phone and not paying attention.
