Outlaw the use of all electronic devices, while driving

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board recommended on Tuesday that states outlaw the use of all electronic devices, while driving, including cellphones with hands-free kits.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
It is all about being reasonable. I would not take a important business call in traffic but a quick call with the wife is fine. In a quiet stretch on the highway you can talk and drive. I find that adjusting the radio can be distracting as well. Maybe they should stop making cars with sound systems?

I find that having a heated conversation with a passenger can be distracting maybe they should make cars for a single occupant? I remember that having a child crying in the car can also be distracting.

90% of drivers support the NTSB suggestion.

I don't think the federal gov't should be the ones enforcing/dictating this. Should be a state-level decision and enforcement.

I agree in principal. But seriously... "Hows that working?"
