Interesting issue for society to wrestle with.

One one hand, it sounds like a reduction in freedom and personal liberty. People have become used to cell phones, so it won't go down well.

On the other hand, having a cell phone in a car, from a safety standpoint, makes about as much sense as having a dash-mounted liquor dispensor. Sure, you can claim it is for your passengers, or that you only get a drink from it when you are parked, or that you are such a good driver that you can drive better drunk than some can drive sober, or even that if you dying of thirst, it would save you. Those are all parallel reasons people give for having cell phones in cars.

I'm not worried about myself, because I won't have a cell phone in reach while driving. But if there is some way to turn back the clock and take cell phones out of the picture for drivers I would be interested. I just don't know how they will put the genie back in the bottle.
