Should it? Yeah. Seeing the geniuses that I do in Philly, I realize that the days of reading the newspaper while driving are over. Unfortunately, contracting business appears to be much worse, especially when someone's doing document review on their BB.

I think laws should be passed forcing hands free devices to be used while driving. Too may people hurt or killed wile driving and text/talking on the phone. There is powerful software out there for hands free communication with a BB.

Cell-phone driving is distracting. At the very least, I support those that state a hands free headset should be required.

No way! Big Brother needs to away from telling me how and when I can use my BB, although I do agree with some sort of headset law.

I'm from the UK and it is already illegal to use a mobile device while the vehicle is both moving, and stationary with the engine running - the only way around getting points on your licence and a fine is to use a hands-free device of some kind. It makes sense as, when taking your driving test, you are told to have both hands on the wheel at all times (Apart from the obvious gear change, or signal manoeuvre, etc) and be in control of the vehicle at all times - Neither of which you are if you're holding a phone to your ear or (Even more bloody stupid) texting!

Thus - My answer is an unequivocal yes!

I know it's not PC, but I talk on my phone in the car way too much.

People are stupid. Really stupid. I think handsfree kits should be mandatory.

I think that talking with handsfree set is ok as long has you have the ability to multitask....drive and talk at the same time.
