Cell phone need to be banned on all moving vehicles

[Common]

Cell phones don't kill people. People kill people.

I know as usual you are trying to be a cutesy so this is all the response you will get

It should be banned, but even if it is, there are many who are so arrogant and stupid that they don't understand the meaning of focusing on the road. Part of it is a fundamental change in people's priorities. These people need autonomous vehicles - they lack the common sense to drive.

Then just like drunk driving it costs them HUGE fines and they progressively lose their license, cell phones are killing more people than drunk drivers and you cant use alcohol in moving vehicles either

One can choose whether or not to make or accept a call, check voicemails or text messages and such.

I mostly use mine for navigation. But Bluetooth takes care of the rest. And when things get hairy on the road I tell the person on the other end to wait. If they get butt hurt - they can talk to me later.

Personal responsibility is the core here.

But damnit, Pinterest is Facebook are important!

Unsure if anyone has brought this up.

Why not have a device built into vehicles that jam the cell phone signal? If the driver's cell phone has no signal they cannot use it while driving.

What about emergencies some may ask. The jamming device could automatically disable when the vehicle is not moving.

I do not use my cell when driving. Which, since it is a ZTE from WalMart, ticks off the Chinese because they cannot spy on me while I am driving.

This proposal is just as foolish as texting and driving is.

I don't think this is such a great idea, but, I have called people before and there is a message basically stating that the cell phone user is driving and to please call back...plus there is always airplane mode.

Quick story, a friend called from his moving vehicle (hands free) I said to call me back when he stopped. He assured me it was fine, while we were talking I actually heard him avoid an accident (screeching brakes and cursing included) I hung up on him, and if he calls me I have make it clear I refuse to talk to him if he is mobile...that was actually the second incedent, the first was him missing an exit while he was explaining how un distracted he was SMH...

Laws will never prevent stupidity. I think that using cell phones while driving is generally against the law everywhere in America. I suspect that video was from Asia.

It was Thailand.

So, a passenger can’t use their phone? That makes sense.
