Rick, I agree completely. Just like the new law banning incandescent light bulbs and the new rules requiring backup cameras in every new vehicle in 2014, it's the "nanny government" mentality of people in DC (politicians and agency beuracrats alike) that's killing this country. They think they know what's best for us.

However, I use my cell phone infrequently on the freeway while driving. I make a call when it's safe to do so. I don't chat for no good reason. It's usually "I'm running late, I'll be there in x minutes. Goodby".

I don't see a problem if you're a driver (commercial or otherwise) driving on the turnpike/expressway with few exits/entrances, no stop and go with miles of open road in front and behind. But in congested traffic, you need to be concentrating on driving 100% of the time,period.

Most of the time when I pass a slow moving vehicle in rush hour that is backing up traffic and causing hazardous driving conditions, it's someone yakking on their cell phone or looking down at it trying to dial or text.

I was in Chicago recently where a sign said "No cell phone use in construction zone". Yet, there was woman backing up traffic, yakking on her phone. You can't ban ignorance and stupidity.

Bottom line is that I don't think we need a ban that can't be enforced.
