Talking and driving

As someone who is frequently on the phone while on the road, I must confess more than a professional interest in this bill, which would outlaw talking on a mobile phone while driving. There is an exception for the use of a hands free device, which I usually use.

I've seen a lot of wacky maneuvering by people who are distracted while driving, and more often than not that distraction is coming from their cell phone. So I can see clearly the reason for wanting to do something like this.

Although, personally, I find the running conversation I have with my nearly-two-year-old boy to be more engrossing - but I don't think anyone is going to pass a law to keep me from driving him around.

I'm tentatively scheduling myself to attend a House committee hearing on the phoning while driving law Wednesday morning so shout out if there’s something you think I should be looking for.
