Banning the Cell Phone As of July 1st, we have to have hands free cell phones. They say it's too much of a distraction.We can still dial the thing ,which is more of a distraction to me than talking while driving, . The lawmakers, having nothing else to worry about, are going to stop people from talking on the phone while they drive. If they want to ban something that is a distraction while you drive, they should ban all kids from cars while their parents are driving,. If they wanted to pull someone over for a distraction from driving, they could pull over my daughter's mini van, and my daughter in law's car, whenever they hit the road. Between handing water cups back to kids, picking them up off the floor and handing them back again, taking the pickles off the hamburger, wiping up a spilled drink with whatever is handy on the floor, taking the power ranger sword from Max to keep him from dissecting his sister, looking at whatever it is that is on the end of his finger, looking at what she ! did at school, then putting music on for them, etc. Kids are the worst distraction than anything. But I bet you will never see a ban on them in cars. If we had to pull over for every distraction of theirs, we would never spend any time on the road.
