Reaper of Conversation
I'm curious what others' thoughts are on passing laws making talking on a phone or texting while driving illegal.
I think texting is fairly clear. To me, that's pretty black and white. It should just be illegal. I would like to hear if someone disagrees, though.
As for talking on the phone, I'm not so sure. I can do it and pay attention, and I know that a lot of others can, too. I generally only do it when I don't have to make any turns or do anything that requires a lot of focus. I know there are a lot of people out there who can't seem to talk and drive at the same time. And I know that it causes a lot of accidents.
My problem is that it seems unfair to make it illegal across the board, considering for some people it doesn't cause problems at all. However, I can also see banning it simply because of how many problems it does cause.
What do you guys think?
