    While driving of course.

    I think it is an excellent law. I don't want opposing drivers trying to read of send a text or answer a phone while headed my way.

    It already is the law here

    I voted 'other- they should outlaw 'inattentiveness'. That would over all the bases.

    Some of the worst drivers I have seen were not texting or talking, they were just DWI- driving while inattentive. My teenage son is one, although with my coaching he is getting better. A driver's No. 1 job is to pay attention to all that is going on around him- and I don't mean just in the car.

    Maybe Chrysler could save its plant by building a one-seat motorcar with no cell phone, radio or other passengers to demand his attention,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Cheers,

    Actually, the radio helps me to drive - otherwise the silence drives me nuts.

    Did you know that Rush Limbaugh has saved the life of many Democrats. An aide to a high ranking Democrat told my driving class, that many Dem's will listen to Rush late on night (tape delay) when they are driving, because it helps them to stay awake -!

    Wife likes me sleeping whilst I drive. She says it doesn't make her angry at the wheel as I tramp on the brakes from the passenger seat.

    Cheers,

    Sorry, SALTY, there doesn't seem to be an option to edit the number of choices, so you may have to re-do the poll. Maybe Roger can help - he's an admin and might have more control options.
