What is your opinion about driving around talking on a cell phone? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

sweetladie30 · 03-12-2005, 09:50 PM

I think that they should pull over to talk on the cell phone. I feel it is not safe. I think they should give a person a fine for talking on the cell phone while driving. I feel that they do not have complete attention while chatting on the cell phone while driving. That is all i have to say about it.

My opinion is that it is not safe either. I almost got hit crossing the street a bunch of times by cellular phones users. One day, I was going to work, I was parking in a parking lot, a cop was hibenating, I received a call on my cellular phone, I answered it as I was parking, the cop drove aside me to check my license, and gave me a warning about use of a cell phone while driving. He got nasty with me too. He warned me, but I felt my dignity was ripped. I wasn't in traffic with the phone, I was in a lot parking while the phone rang. This dude was an *******!!!

Though I'm pretty sure all of us with cell phones and cars have done it once or twice, I think it's stupid. For one, most drivers can't pay attention anyway, so that just gives them a further distraction. Plus, is the call really that important? Probably not. Just like people talking on phones in stores.

Yesterday I followed a woman, on a cell, trying to get on the interstate. She freakin had to practically stop so she could look. GET OFF THE DAMN PHONE!

Hey, my cell phone is my job's. I am allowed to take it home. I can't help it if they call me for some emergency. That is what happened in my case.

I think that you should only use your cell phone in your car when there is
an emergency,most states are giving tickets for driving and talking on cell
phones,and Texas wants to now prevent 16 year old drivers from talking
on cell phones while driving,So I guess it's up to the driver.

Well I used my phone when I assumed there was an emergency, and I am way over 16 years of age. This cop was just lurking about. NYS laws are different.

I think it's dangerous. I've read that even the hand free cells are dangerous because it's more about concentration. I think eventually that the law will prohibit cell phone use while driving, except in an emergency.

Actually, I answered my phone, I didn't get on it to chit-chat while driving.

Czas na Zywiec · 03-13-2005, 12:49 AM

I hate when people do that, though I admit I've done it once or twice before where I really had no choice. But other that that, I'll always pull over into a parking lot or something or ignore a call while I'm driving.

I love chit chatting at ALL times...that's what phones are for.
