While they are at it, they should also consider banning children in cars. There have been so many instances where I have had to honk at parents making careless left turns and unnecessary stops at lights, all while minding their children. <BR/><BR/>How about food, cigarettes, coffee, talkative passengers, ipods, radios, car stereo, windshield wipers, turning signal stalks - cellphones are just a drop in the sea of distractions. <BR/><BR/>It is a useless law.Aditya Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018367545283753455noreply@blogger.com
