driving while talking on cell phone laws
Using the cell phone while driving?
Many states/provinces and perhaps countries have passed laws which specify that a person must talk hands free while driving and using a cell phone, however does these laws address the other things people can do on cell phones that are just as dangerous or worse as talking with hands on a cell phone while driving? Check the list below:
1. Watching television on your cell phone
2. Sending e-pictures from your cell phone to other people or to your online photo album
3. Downloading music
4. Cuing music to play.
5. Sending phone network email (text messages)
6. Receiving and reading phone network email (text messages)
7. Playing video games on your cell phone
8. Downloading ring tones.
9. Organizing Data on your cell phone (such as adding people’s contact numbers, scratching notes on your cell phone’s e-calendar, arranging picture i.d.s, etc..
10. Oh, I forgot one… Browsing the internet on your cell phone.. (I’m sure there are others I missed)
It does not include those things because they are harder to enforce if not impossible to enforce. But texting while driving is so dangerous. there should be a law against it. It causes so many accidents/deaths a year.
