Couple years ago I was hit almost head on by a kid texting. I went half off the road and he still hit me. Totaled my truck.

Ban it...

I would like a Hands Free option to remain for calls only.

Everything else - ban it.

Same here. I like the integrated blue tooth in cars. There's no reason someone can't wait until they park to send a text.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

WASHINGTON — Like it or not, when someone is talking to you, your brain is listening, processing and thinking about what's being said — even when you're in the driver's seat trying to concentrate on traffic.

That's why drivers get distracted during cellphone conversations, even when using hands-free phones, researchers said. It's also part of the reason why the National Transportation Safety Board went ahead this week with a recommendation it knows a lot of drivers won't like — that states ban hands-free, as well as handheld, cellphone use while driving.

It's not where your hands are, but where your mind is that counts, NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman told reporters.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
