Are we going to ban eating/drinking? How about radio tuning? How about all those fancy GPS units in cars today?
More laws will do shit. We just need to hold people accountable. Cops should hammer people they see using cells AND driving erratically.
As for how dangerous it is, I can only go on personal experience. I occasionally use my phone while driving. A few times it has taken my attention away from driving, but, if done with a little sense, is no more dangerous than changing the radio station. There is a much bigger problem when it comes to driving safety and that is driver boredom.
I can't count the number of times I've found myself driving, usually on the interstate, nearly dozing off. I am certain that this is a bigger problem than phone driving or even drunk driving. Yet, gubmint doesn't touch it, because it's kind of difficult to prove.
In my opinion, having a cell phone and using it actually makes driving safer in these incidences, as talking on the phone makes it more likely that you'll stay awake.
So, this ridiculous law can and will cause deaths.

The part where you said you were you are a safer driver talking on the phone because you would fall asleep otherwise? You came off sounding so stupid that it's a miricle you can chew your own food. Not a soul can disagree with that.
Derron -- you know they banned talking and texting in Oregon a while back, right?
I keep my calls to incoming ones that say "I'll call you back when I stop" these days, if it's work stuff. Otherwise, they can leave a message.
Not that 20% of all drivers aren't onthe phone these days. My employer actually pulls up sports recaps and reads them to us on roadies... but that's on the interstate.
And yeah, you dumbfucked bigtime, smackoholic. If I need to stay awake late at night on a lonely hiway, I crack a brew and nurse it... nothing puts your head on a swivel like an open beer. Hey, I get a .07 buffer, right?
The problem with smackaholic's advice is that heterosexual males will not voluntarily talk on the phone for more than 45 seconds. That's why on the road we slam coffee, crank the tunes, or just fall asleep and kill ourselves because that's better than yapping on the phone.

I still hark back to my experiences driving drunk whenever there is bad weather or I'm tired. Sad to say that I once had that shit down to an art form. I'm still amazed I never got popped. Now my wife drives my drunk ass the two or three times a year I drink too much.

Alrighty then...
Get your board password handed off to to your wifey so she can log on and inform us when the inevitable "Darwin called smackaholic home..." moment occurs.
I admit pre-cum has already formed in anticipation of the event.
the cat in that picture needs to invest in something a little more modern
driving while talking on a phone is fine as long as through a blue tooth device....
but be sure and take said blue tooth device off before you leave the car
every time I see somebody walking around with one of these things stuck in their ear, I want to walk up and say "do you know you look like a fucking douchebag wearing that thing in public?"
so, no one here has ever driven tired? it's not really even a case of being tired. just the shear boredom of interstate travel. and late night driving is generally not the problem. for me, it's middle of the afternoon driving. it's fukkin siesta time and my body is very prone to taking a nap at that time. coffee helps. cranking the radio, not so much. the smartest thing to do is just pull into a rest stop and take a 30 minute nap, but, just calling someone and yapping for a few minutes can help.

Don’t worry. None of us expected you to do the smartest thing.

I believe they did..but you would never know it. In an average days driving I see more people talking on the phone, ( it all must be work related) and texting than I did before said law / ban went into effect.

I like to honk my horn when I pull up to someone talking on a handset. You know at least one of them was lying to his boss about being sick at home or to his wife about being at work. Fuck em if they can't care enough about other drivers to buy a damned bluetooth.

Nice edit genius.
If it doesn't have a snowball's chance then it can't happen, therefore it is not possible to make it a law.
Care to try again you stupid simple fuck?
There was a big crash on an Interstate outside STL last year, 2 killed 38 injured. The dumbfuck 19 year old (dead) kid who had started the chain reaction was found to have texted 11 times just prior to the pileup.

Been there, done that. Something about that must have triggered her gag reflex because right after finishing, she barfed all over the passenger side floor. Not exactly the kind of mess you want to deal with while driving down I-87 at 70 MPH.
Crazy times!

What about getting a BJ while flying a twin engine aircraft then getting a the mile-high club status (again)? I loves me the auto-pilot.

Don't need a twin or autopilot..nice stable plane like the Cessna 182 STOL...smooth day...6500 feet over the Central Oregon Coast Range..slide the seat back a bit..reach around and hold the yoke with 2 fingers and enjoy...add a couple of bounces for effect ..and it was her daddy's plane too...
