Comment: TEXTING?? Cell phone use PERIOD!! At least 80% of all drivers I see on my drive to and from work are on their phone. While it is possible to multi-task, not while driving. by David

Comment: All cell phones should be banned while the vehicle is in motion. If the call or msg is that important, pull over. by Dick

Comment: there should not be texting or talking on a cell phone while driving by Sandy

Comment: Not only should there be no texing but no talking while driving or reading books or magazines. My family had watched a young woman reading a book in heavy traffic on the Coralville strip, this was at night,she had her headlight on and weaving in and out between cars all while driving. How many people need to get hurt or worst in this country before all states make it a law not to use a phone while driving? by Donna

Comment: I don't believe the teens should be singled out for texting while driving. I see people of all ages on phones, have books and newspapers laying over the steering wheel, doing their hair and makeup. So MANY are on cell phones constantly. I have been driving for about 60 years with no violations. Driving is a full-time job. I have grandchildren that drive, but are not allowed to use their phones or text while driving--they are teens. The older ones know better,too. Make it equal for all ages, not just the kids. by Sherry

Comment: it should be everybody... no one is good at driving looking down in their lap. I just moved here from Wash. D.C. a year ago and they have had a "Hands-free" law for years where you are not allowed to even be on the phone unless using a hands free device. It's a good law! by Allan

Comment: No question everyone is a risk when they text while driving by Laura

Comment: The ban should be a total ban on phone use while driving. Such a ban should apply to all drivers. This results in no discrimination. by Ken

Comment: Everybody should be banned from using cell phones while driving even if they have a hands free device. Their attention should be on the road. The only exceptions would be those who preform publice services like policmen and firemen. by Kelly

Comment: This is really a large problem. by Cliff

Comment: My mom,sister, and I were on the interstate on our way home from my aunts funeral and almost sideswipt by another adult driver texting by Laura

Comment: No one's texting or e-mailing is important enough to chance taking the life, or causing injury, of someone else. by Gerri

Comment: Cell phone use at all in a vehicle by the driver should be banned. by James

Comment: Texting should be ban for everyone. Teens are in experienced drivers, so they should be completely banned while driving. by L.

Comment: and dogs puttIng on make up lap tops the list goes on and on by Douglas

Comment: I've personally seen people on the phone while driving and clueless about what they are supposed to be doing behind the wheel. It's frightening.

Comment: Everyone should be banned from using any hand held electronic device for any reason while driving,

Comment: I beleive just the Teens ages 16 to 17 should be banned. by Kory

Comment: There is nothing so important that cannot wait until people are off the road. Texting, and talking on cell phones whilst driving causes distraction to driving focus, often resulting in accidents which often occur in a split second, causing serious injury and/or death to others. Both texting and talking on cell phones whilst driving should be banned, for all age groups. by Anne

Comment: As A UPS driver for 22 years I witness many more dangers as dogs are in the laps of the driver and as well as the application of cosmetics, and most of all talking on the cell phone needs to be banned. by Michael

Comment: Although I believe the younger people are the biggest violators, I think the ban should include everyone. by Phil
