I was tempted to vote yes, then took the high road and voted to legalize drunk driving as well.

Really though, where do you draw the line? Until you can remove all of the ****** idiots that are out there, will banning cell phones make that big of a difference? How about banning idiots reading while driving, or adjusting the radio, or nav systems, or makeup? The real answer not just automatically giving everyone a license, actually making a driving test a test as they do elsewhere. That's how the autobahn is able to have a similar death rate to our interstates despite it's high speeds, there's no soccer moms in Suburbans talking on the phone and reading a book while putting on her make up.

While we're at it, can we ban old people too? I'd take a 16 yr old with a cell phone any day over an 80 year old driving the wrong way down a divided highway. At least the 16 year old would realize it when she hit something. True story, a lady that used to work with my wife had a neighbor in her 80s, poor health, that still drove. She isn't able to see the behind her, so when she backs out of a parking space she honks her horn so that hopefully others will move. Appearently she goes about 2 down her street so she can find her driveway. Still driving.......
