I'm for it.

I am guilty of being on the phone and the odd text message when on the phone....Bluetooth and Handsfree all you want, the physical hinderance is minimal issue in this case in my opinion.

But what's a bit scary is getting on the phone when you start the car, and, you're finishing up the call when you get to where you were planning on going.

You get out of the car and realize you've just driven that distance and are there...without remembering one part of actually driving a 3000lb+ hunk of metal down the road on that the 7-10+ minute drive, and, thus being oblivious to everyone and everything around you in that time too.

Slowing down, drifiting in and out of lanes, cutting someone off, all dangerous driving that is mainly a result of being mentally being unaware and distracted of things going around you, not just because you're holding a phone to your head.

Sure, cops can't catch you if you have a handsfree, but in my opinion is not to evade the law as an individual in this case, its to use common sense and common courtesy when you're sharing the road with everyone else...that is best done by not being distracted mentally.

If the cops can get some teeth to pull someone over who's clearly distracted by a cellphone conversation, as opposed to being helpless about it, I'm all for it.
