on that note i would like to see a law banning eating and makeup. These are 2 common problems i seee every day. We should have an "open seal" law on makeup containers and ban all drive-thru windows at restaurants because some people choose to be distracted drivers.
I'm obviously being facetious, but realistically can anyone find statistics on What distracts drivers (causing accidents)?

I agree with other posts, its not the cell phone causing the problem its the driver who chooses to be distracted. If you ban cell phone the same driver will be distracted trying to get their "hands free" kit workin. Also a driver willing to make such a choice will undoubtedly make that choice regardless of the object of distraction.
