California Teen Cell Phone Use Ban While Driving

[TheDragoon]

Ok, so like I said earlier, we are legislating common sense. It will never end as long as their are senseless people who are allowed to roam around in our society. What you are describing is making laws to keep the honest sensible law abiding people honest. The senseless and the heedless will not follow them, and they may or may not get caught depending on whether a cop see's them, whether he has time to waste educating another idiot and whether he remembers that that specific stupid behavior has a special law.

Bringing this back on topic, I would note that cell phone use while driving is not currently restricted to "the senseless and heedless." Plenty of "honest sensible law abiding people" still drive while talking on a cell phone, reducing their ability to focus on the potentially dangerous task of driving. From personal experience I would say that the frequency of seeing drivers chatting on their cell has been growing at a considerable pace in recent years. Since this is such a prevalent problem, it seems that it makes sense that a law is put in place to convince those "honest sensible law abiding people" to put down the phone and concentrate on their driving. :)
