Just heard from NTSB, also recommending no radio or CD players, no more nose picking and definitely no more coffee on the way to work. Of course these rules don't apply after dark. You are on the honor system after dark and none of the rules apply to public officials.

Was on an aviation forum yesterday and one of the posters (a lawyer) went on to comment that he would not allow anyone in the car listen to music, talk or do anything that might distract him while driving.
Needless to say, he is not ever going to ride with me...

statistically, and this should please noah930 as to the reasons for the law, persons using a cell phone are as bad or worse at driving as someone DUI. ban them.
just yesterday i was behind some tool in a mini van, all over the lane, making weird random slow-downs and near-stops. at the intersection he stopped in the turning lane, with his right side wheels one foot over the white line, in my lane, and on a green arrow.... sure enough, this guy was on his phone, talking, not even texting. this guy was probably mid-forties. disaster waiting to happen. i see this all the time. as i am sure everyone here does.
