It helps to have one with you in case of emergency because you can call 911 on it, but I think that people should not be allowed to use them while driving unless they are in an emergency situation while driving, such as a car that won't stop because the brakes won't work, or trying to flee from an earthquake that has affected the road they are on, or something like that. no matter were u are you need a cell phone you might be aducted and you dont have a cell phone to call for help now do you?so go to target whaile you still can and get a pay as you go and the tracfone and be save for crying out loud!!
When in control of a vehicle, and having a conversation with a (3rd) person not in the same vehicle:
There is no chance that the 3rd person will notice a potential hazard/situation ahead, and stop talking, allowing the driver to notice/(become aware of) the hazard ahead.
There is no chance that the 3rd Person will notice a potential hazard/situation ahead, and bring it to the attention of the driver.
The 3rd person will, actually, continue to talk to the driver, and continue to occupy their attention regardless as to what's going on ahead, and will be quite happy to continue to talk to the vehicle driver as they drive under a Semi.
The 3rd person is not in the vehicle and hence can't see what's going on, and wont suffer any injury as a result of the drivers lack of attention.
Apart from that, I think they should be allowed. It's called "evolution in action".
You increase the risk of getting in an accident because you become preoccupied doing something else. Plus its against the law where im from

Driving a car safely takes a great deal of concentration, and the ability to multi-task. Adding texting to the mix requires that you divide your attention further, including removing hands, eyes and your mind from the task of guiding your several thousand pound car.
we should ban cell phones while driving because Cellphone usage while driving can divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving.Cellphones are by far the most alarming distraction for drivers today. The use of cellphones while driving is a growing trend and a national epidemic.
Yes; distracted drivers cause an avoidable number of accidents. If it is so important that a driver needs to talk, they can pull over or buy a handsfree kit quite easily.
You should always have your cell phone with you but you shouldn't ever talk or text while driving. If someone does call you, you should ignore it until you arrive at your destination
cause they can
yes!
I don't think we should. Mobile phones are way too useful to be banned.
yes
cell phones shouldn't generally be banned from cars but just not used. Cell phones do cause major accidents and stuff but there is no reason to be brutal like banning them.
Cell phones should be banned in classrooms as it distracts a student fro his primary objective which is school education.
NO! Of couse not!
Mobile Phones are a part of people's everyday life. They definitely should not be banned because what if someone is in trouble and they need help, Mobile Phone!
Because - if you're driving a vehicle - your only concern should be the safety of the people in your vehicle and the other road users ! Using a mobile-phone while driving reduces a drivers concentration - and distracts the driver from operating the vehicle safely. ANYONE who kills someone through using a mobile while driving - should be charged with murder ! Ask yourself the question - what's more important - using your phone or a person's life !
Cellphone use while operating a motor vehicle is already banned in most states. The ban was enacted to help reduce distracted driving because according to the federal government, in 2009, 5,474 people were killed and an additional 448,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes that were reported by police to have involved distracted driving. Further, cell phone users are four times as likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves so cellphone use should be banned while driving.
yes because people can be calling girls
well it should be banned from 6 under because they might call 911 or something like that so they dont under stand
Simple - don't use your phone while driving ! People DIE from irresponsible drivers being distracted by using phones while driving ! The ONLY thing you should be doing while your vehicle is moving is concentrate on controlling your vehicle - nothing else matters !
