Greg in Oceanside wrote on Nov 25, 2008 6:31 PM:Oh, it's crazy. I can't count on two hands how many people I see talking on their cell phone on my commute, especially those who are either driving slower, or faster than the flow of traffic, all being done with a 'me-first, I don't care about anyone else' attitude. It's utterly pathetic!

And it isn't rocket-science. People don't need to spend a bundle of money on an obnoxious 'I'm a cool-guy' blue-tooth. I purchased a plug-in headset at one of the up-scale discount stores (that starts with a 'T') for around $12.

Hopefully more of these violators are caught, because they're driving me nuts with their rude obnoxious driving!

How many times has each of us almost been hit by a selfish one handed driver while chatting on a cell phone? If these people intentionally ignore the law and kill somebody, they should be charged with murder.

Neighbor wrote on Nov 25, 2008 7:23 PM:Studies have shown that there is NO REAL DANGER from driving while talking on a cell phone.

Studies have shown that having a child in the car is more of a distraction than talking on a hand-held cell phone.

Our leaders in Sacramento blew it with this cell phone law.

I would guess that there have been more wrecks caused by people who are fussing with the hands-free equipment, which causes so much more distraction, than were caused by talking on a cell phone.

But the real danger on our roads are those people that think the highways are their own personal speedway.

Some or us are just plain careless, and it doesn't do any good to deflect attention to the yakkers out there.

If the speed limit is 70 and you are doing 80 or 90, YOU are the problem.

If you can see that traffic is building ahead of you and you are not slowing down, YOU are the problem. If you refuse to cooperate with merging traffic, instead preferring to pass when you should be holding or reducing speed to allow others to complete their maneuver, YOU are the problem.

Just because you have a car doesn't mean you don't have to get along with others who also have cars.

"Whereare," the statistics on cell phone use and vehicle collision rate are available, and talking on the phone is roughly equivalent to having a marginally DUI 0.08% blood alcohol level.

Irrespective of the letter of the law, the moral imperative is clear -- since we make life-and-death decisions continuously while driving, we are obligated to drive as attentively and responsibly as possible, and this includes eschewing all unnecessary telephone conversation, hands-free or hands-on.

What the law should have been is a law against texting while driving. Now, that is just impossible to do without taking your eyes off the road.
I have seen so many cars on the freeway that just start slooowing down, and slooooowing down, in the left(passing) lane at that! So, now I have to pass on the right, which is wrong, and as I go by them I see them looking down and tapping away... oblivious that they are going 45 mph.

Some converstations on a phone are not as distracting as others. For instance, if I am on my way to a friends house for dinner, I am most certain that answering that "Where you at?" call is not nearly as much of a distraction as if I was on the phone with a business associate trying to discuss the next "big deal".

These cops are also typing into the computers, reading the next call that comes to them, ONE THEIR COMPUTER. This is not adam 12 days, everything is done electronic. That is why the law was written to exclude all emergency personel.

Cops And Their Phones wrote on Nov 27, 2008 7:16 PM:No one is suggesting a cop shouldn't be able to use their phones while driving. In fact the law itself doesn't say anyone can't use their phone while driving (unless you're under 18).

I am the first to agree that whatever is on the other end of that phone has better be pretty darn important if you think I'm going to pick up. I hate talking on the phone as it is ... and driving with all the idiots who change lanes without looking and don't bother to use their turn signals is also more than I can stand ... I won't answer anything that rings while I drive unless I really believe it to be an emergency.

What people (including me) don't understand is why they (the cops) get to hold their phones in their hands while everyone else has to go hands free. Not to mention the very 'creative' ways I've seen people talk on their phones 'hands free'. Some of what I've seen is far more dangerous than if they were just holding the stupid phone to begin with.

If safety is truly the issue then it shouldn't matter who it is behind the wheel ... everyone should be hands free. Cops aren't immune from making the same stupid mistakes as the rest of the general public so, in theory, if hands free is safer for the public then it would also be safer for the cop.

What's good for the goose and all that ...
