Study after study has shown how dangerous distracted driving is yet people continue to talk on their cell phones while driving. Driving in Massachusetts requires your full attention. Many other states and countries have made it illegal to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle and Massachusetts should follow their lead. Banning the use of cell phones while driving would have the added benefit of making the no-texting law enforceable.
Why is this important?
Study after study has demonstrated that talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. This practice should be banned. It would also make it easier to enforce the no texting law if any cell phone use while driving is illegal.
