Default Cell phones and driving

A woman was traveling on the highway at 77 miles-per-hour when she was rear-ended. Her car rolled and her arm was wedged between the car and the pavement. It ultimately had to be amputated below the shoulder.

Georgia has since p***ed a law specifically banning hand-held cell phone use, but whether or not it's illegal in your state is something all drivers should consider before making that call on the road. There are some
drivers that can't drive and talk on the phone at the same time, perhaps that was the reason the phone was originally stationary on a table in the home.

Your thoughts

I have been the p***enger of driver on the phone and have gotten into a car accident
Some people are able to talk and drive at the same time, but you have people that can't focus on the road and speak at the same time. So I think that if it's not an emergency, wait to you get to a stopping point.

I own a cellphone but I am not one of those who talks while driving. It annoys me when I see people driving while talking on there cellphone. I honestly think that people can not concentrate while driving/talking at the same time. I was on the road one day and actually saw someone texting while driving. Now that is crazy! I think every state should p*** a law banning cellphone use while driving.
