simply control and another (sorry Mom) Mother law. The government
has deemed itself to be everyones 'Mother' and care for the children...


Respectfully, no.

This issue is not another helmet or seatbelt law thing.

The actions of drivers on public roads affect *all* the other
drivers. A person's car interior is not their own personal
living room, it is travelling down a highway that many
other people are using at the same time.

This the reason that I can vote against helmet or seatbelt
laws, and FOR a law that prohibits drivers from being
distracted by phone conversations.

Those are fundamentally different issues.

The right to chatter on a phone in the car *stops* when my
right to travel safely _starts_.
