Cell phone signal cancelling device

[Nativechief]

I wish I had one today. going up Interstate 85 in heavy traffic going 70 mph everyone had to slow down and avoid some jackass in the middle lane going 10 mph slower who had one hand on the wheel and the other hand holding up his cell phone to eye level as he texted.....One stupid SOB

While we are at it, can we ban:
Eating or drinking while driving.
Having fussy babies and screaming kids in the car (now THERE is a distraction)
Applying makeup while driving
Shaving while driving
READING while driving
GPS devices....... PLEASE GET RID OF THESE!!! Get a map and read it BEFORE you leave.
I see people all the time fiddling w/ these trying to enter in their destination (that they have been to) while DRIVING!

Calling someone stupid because they voice their opinion, where do you come off?

While you're at it might as well ban breathing while driving.....

We need MORE laws, MORE nanny state

How about we use MORE common sense instead?

Deaths directly related to cell phone use are documented to FAR exceed the deaths caused from shaving, eating etc etc...In fact statistics prove that cell phone users CAUSE AS MANY Accidents AS DRUNKS. Only a moron will use a phone and try to drive at the same time......case and point.....lol

We have distracted driving laws already on the books that cover this. No need for new ones for each and every specific tech that comes out.

And so long as the regulations and tech might affect people who are NOT in direct control of a moving automobile, then it needs to be dropped from consideration.
