Sounds like a great idea to me, to many people simply cannot put the phone down while driving, being served in a restaurant,standing in line and dealing with a cashier at any store. While obviously we may never see laws regulating the use of phones in every situation it is time soceity recognized that there is a time and a place to yap on the phone. It is not an activity that should adversely effect others, slow people down or distract in situations where a phone is not needed.
I have seen it far to often with drivers barely paying attention as their life is controled by their cell phone. In most situations it is not that hard to either pull over,tell the person you will call them back or just not answer and take a message. Rather then letting someone else who is not talking on the phone be affected by this and become victims it would be great to see a law strong enough to start detering this activity.
