I am for full ban on cellphone use while driving.
To save lives, the state should adopt a full ban and collect a hefty fine from lawbreakers to balance the state budget: $1,000 for the first offense; confiscate and sell the vehicle on the second offense.
In an emergency, one can park and call for help.
Dump the politicians who do not make enforceable laws to protect the public.
For more information on the danger of driving and cell phones check out the recent December 15, 2011 editorial in the Chicago Sun Times;" http://www.suntimes.com/opinions/9467105-474/story.html

via facebook;""As those of our generation (60's and older) can attest, we drove for many years and got along just fine with no cell phones.
So, HELL, we gotta make up for all that lost time!
Go ahead and ban all cell phones for those 59 and under punks, but "grandfather" in (literally) us old codgers, as long as we use a hand free headset. And you wouldn't have to worry about texting, cuz no one in our generation has figured out how to do that anyway."
"2-D" cell phones are the major cause of all traffic accidents these days, unlike a passenger that you may talk to , the passenger can act a s a co-pilot and or tone the conversation down when things get harry....
