Group: Ban Cell Phone Use While Driving Nationwide
What I don't get is. . .
What about accidents involving people drinking coffee/tea/juice while in the road? Or accidents involving people who get distracted by the radio/backseat tv? Heck, how many accidents are caused by people being distracted by passengers? should they be banned too?

I'm glad you brought this up. For several years now, I have been part of a special advocacy group regarding the issues of passengers in cars. We have extensive statistics to back up our claim that passengers cause more than 53.67% of deaths in automobile collisions. Will you join us in our government petition to ban all passengers in cars?
I Agree With Menno..When Your On The Phone It Is Alot Like Talking To the Other Person(s) In the Car.. So What It the Differece?
I can just see the scenario: you get pulled over and the officer asks; "have you been talking sir?" "Let me see your call log"
I use VZNavigator and Google Maps to navigate when driving, to the point that my GPS unit just sits in the box. So is that banned too?
I have actually had my laptop open on the passenger seat while driving with google maps up on the screen. But I am being smart in that I am only looking at it when I am stopped at a light. My reason for doing this is on the weekends I photograph kids' sports at locations I have never been to before. Instead of printing out the directions twice a weekend and wasting paper (I won't even open that green can of worms), I would just take the laptop along. The directions were on the screen instead of a piece of paper. Man would the National Safety Council have thrown the book at me!
