I will be supportive of this when adults decide to ban cellphones in cars when in the driver's seat. Studies show driver's even with handless systems are significantly more likely to get into car crashes.
If you support curtailing young people's cell phone use but don't support curtailing the use by adults which has proven to lead to traffic fatalities I'd have to ask you why.
- privacypoller 8y agoFirst regular cell phone use is already banned in a lot of places, and everywhere has a general distracted driving law on the books. It's pretty tough to surf facebook or instagram hands-free. Second, your essentially saying I'll support a ban that students don't like when drivers stop putting everyone a risk on our roads - why the linkage? You could support both today, or either independently. This sort of linear-justification derails a lot of necessary change with artificial preconditions.
