why banning cell phone use in cars is dumb

Hand it to a passenger.

I saw some speeder drive someone onto the shoulder, something unforgivable unless in an emergency. Basically it had better be a first responder.  I handed the cell phone to my aunt, whom I was taking back from a doctor's appointment, and asked her to deal "9-1-1" to report the incident to the police. I wanted that fellow busted and ticketed. I wanted to see him down the road with a state trooper making his day go bad.

I could not have called the cops at the time.
