I am glad this ban against driving while talking on a hand-held cell phone was passed. Even though drivers who only have one hand on the wheel while the other is holding the phone to their ear may disagree with the policy by claiming that they are capable of driving while talking, there have been many accidents that could have been prevented if the driver's attention had been fully on the road. One such incidence is the death of Morgan Pena, a two year old child. She had been sitting in her car seat when her mother's vehicle was broadsided by a reckless driver who had ran over a stop sign at 45 miles per hour because he had been chatting away on his cell phone. Also, it is very common to find drivers who realize that they are coming upon their desired exit and decide to change lanes immediately before they are forced to the next exit. Such situations could be prevented through the passing of this ban against cell phone use while driving. Additionally, in the New England Journal of Medicine, conclusions of a study conducted by the University of Toronto states a quadrupling effect of cell phone use on accident rate, which is equivalent to driving with a blood alcohol level at the legal limit. Since there are regulations against DUI, it is logical for bans to be implemented against hand-held cell phone use while driving as well.
