Do you routinely talk on your cellphone while driving a car? There are times where talking on a cellphone is very dangerous. My personal opinion is cellphone usage while driving should be banned. To me, this falls into the same category as not using seatbelts should be (and is) illegal. I'm all for not resticting personal liberties, but where do we draw the line? There are probably those out there who think they should have the right to drink a half gallon of Jack Daniels and drive home. I disagree.
Do you also think radios/cd players and passangers should be banned while driving a car as well? All can be even more dangerous then celphones because they take your eyes off the road in addition to your attention. I mean, while we are getting rid of all of the distractions.

Note, last time I checked the top 10 causes of accidents, celphone usage was indeed on the list; at number 6. The radio was high above celphones.
