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_.

But respectfully the issue is the cell phone was listed to be written
down as a suspect in big wrecks. Other elements were not.
That is why they got the bad rep.
Eating and having a baby in the car is often far more dangerous.
Or just being of a certain age group - under 25.
