I don't think people should make a habit of phoning while driving; they should make it a habit to DRIVE instead, LOL! People who just LOVE to talk on their phones, for the sake of talking, do NOT need to drive and talk, hands-free or not, I think! But to make a quick call, or receive a quick call, hands-free, should be allowed under certain circumstances. I think if you are a safe driver, you will be conscientious of when is a good time to be talking while driving, whether on a hands free set, or to a passenger. You can't keep people from talking, after all!
Everybody, be safe out there! |
I totally agree. I hate the bluetooth though. To me it is the most annoying device ever. When I see someone wearing one, I wonder why they are so important that they have to have their cell phone attached to them for the whole world to see while they are out in public. It is not hard to pick up your phone and answer it. Sorry if I offend anyone, this is just how I feel. Plus, I can never tell if someone is talking to me or on the phone. (I was at my parents house yesterday and my mom had one of those evil things in her ear, and I thought she was talking to me until I realized she was on the phone.....)
I have a cheap 'ol VM pay as you go phone. I use it for the quick reasons listed above. Plus, my son has Aspergers and I need to be able to be contacted by the school should the need arise. Without my phone, I was at home all the time, afraid to leave the house.
I don't talk and drive for long periods of time. 99% of my "conversations" are less than 1 minute. I mean, how long does it take to ask if we need milk while I am at the grocery store?? LOL
The people who talk and drive for long periods of time while on the cell phone need to hang up and drive!
