Currently, "Outside person, object, event" (commonly known as rubbernecking) is the most reported cause of distraction-related accidents, followed by "Adjusting radio/cassette/CD". "Using/dialing cell phone" is eighth.
Eighth. So instead of banning the seven more common occurrences, they want to ban cell phones.

U.S. Transportation secretary Ray LaHood said he will not issue a nationwide ban on using cell phones and hand-free devices while driving, as proposed recently by the National Transportation Safety Board. LaHood believes that hands-free calling is not a problem in the United States, and his stance certainly supports the auto and mobile industries. Ford, for example, equips several of its car models with Ford Sync hands-free technology. A ban on hands-free devices would likely prevent the company from selling that product. Hands-free phone calls are “not the big problem in America,” LaHood argued. ”If other people want to work on hands-free, so be it.” LaHood has admitted that talking on the phone while driving is a distraction and he toyed with a nationwide ban, but never followed through with it. Individual states, however, have the power to issue statewide bans and there are currently nine states, in addition to Washington, D.C., with bans in effect. Thirty-five states currently ban texting while driving, too. The U.S. Department of Transportation is currently working on a set of safety guidelines that hands-free and in-car entertainment system manufacturers will have to follow, The Wall Street Journal said.

Originally posted by kingjason View PostI am absolutley for this. There was a study that showed talking on the cell phone with it up to you ear was worse then DWI on reaction times while driving. Not to mention loss of peripheral vision. I could care less if the city made a dime on this ticket as long as it cuts down the use. Oh and don't get me started on texting and driving. I see people all the time swerving all over the road or driving 15 under the speed limit to text. I would love it if they came up with a device in cars that killed cell phone signals while the car was moving, or they could just add this feature to the phones.
Remember last year or so when the lady in the Cliff drug that school kid like two blocks in a school zone with people chasing her down the street. Talking on her phone and had no clue.
