Do these kind of people get on your last nerve?

Question

Driving and talking on cell phone, not paying attention, driving in fast lane 50 mph, cutting people off and not even realizing it. Should talking on cell phone while driving be illegal?

Answer 1

It's illegal where I live.
New York City

Answer 2

I absolutely can't stand people who talk on the cell phone while driving. How can they possibly be giving all of their attention to driving when they are on the phone? What in the world could be so important that you can't wait to talk to someone until you are stopped. In California right now there is a bill to make it illegal to talk on a cell phone and drive. I pray that it will pass.

Answer 3

I think it IS illegal is some states. I know what you mean though! I lived in Las Vegas for 10 years and HATED the traffic, but 2 years ago I moved to a small town in Missouri, where there are tons of OLD people that drive SLOOOOW!!! OMG...I would much rather be flipped off by someone that needs to get by, because going 7 in a 25 mph zone is just not happening!!!

The elder either need their license taken away, or they need to re-test to see if they are still able!!!

Answer 4

I heard that next year in CA, driving while talking on the phone will be illegal. U'll get a ticket. U can only talk on a speaker phone while driving. This is good because it prevents more accidents. Those who don't pay attention or who cut people off get on my nerves. Also those who cause traffic by putting their nose in people's business by slowing 2 look @ accidents.

Answer 5

Even though I have used my cell phone while driving, I think it should be illegal. I believe it's more of a distraction than talking to someone in the car with you. If they continue to be allowed then the law should at least require "hands-free" headsets.

We got along for years without phones in our cars.

Answer 6

In most cities it is illegal to drive while celling, it should be. but I talk on the phone while driving. and I think I'm pretty good at it.(thats what we all say) .... I cant stand the people who dont use their signals when changing lanes.

Answer 7

I GUARANTEE you this lady is quite capable of driving slow in the fast lane and cutting people off without the excuse of a cell phone stuck to her ear.

Answer 8

Using a mobile whilst driving is illegal - you could incur a £1000 maximum fine if your caught! Take a look at the links I've supplied. The first link is from 2003, the second is FYI only.

Answer 9

driving while chatting on a cell phone is a very dangerous thing drving a car is putting power into the hands of someone who should be well aware of his or her surroundings like watching a baby but having ur favorite music blaring in ur headphones it takes away from what you should be paying close attention too remember even the best drivers have had accidents

Answer 10

There are idiots everywhere. Although these people do piss me off there is not much you can do but get a little road rage and flip them off but they are probably to busy to see you. I just take a deep breath, and move on. life is to short (although people like this could shorten it even more) to get to bent out of shape. And they want to put microwaves in cars. just what we need people cooking, celling, putting on make up and beating the kids while driving. Although I disagree with the law about wearing your seat belt I may start.

Answer 11

Some people can do it successfully. Other can't. Yeah I get REALLY mad when some blonde is in the left lane going 50 in a 65 zone completely wrapped up in her conversation! She could at lease go chill with grandma in the right late.
