No, cell phones should not be banned while driving. I agree that using a cell phone takes away from a person's ability to drive, but the problem becomes where do you draw the line. Talking on a cell phone is unacceptable, but applying lipstick is okay? Why isn't giving someone the finger illegal? The amount of time it takes to look at the other person, make sure s/he is looking back, then giving an obscene gesture/words takes away from your concentration. How about trying to discipline kids in the back seat? A crying baby or two (or more) fighting kids in the back seat is far more distracting than a cell phone. What about talking to your passenger(s)? Some passengers can be really distracting when intoxicated... but nobody ever questions people who volunteer to be designated drivers (they're practically heroes in some circles) yet they can be worse off than those on a cell phone. What about driving when a person is tired? Will there be a device that tests how much sleep a person has gotten at night and if, say, a person has less than 7 hours sleep they are given a fine? There are thousands of things that distract drivers while driving... cell phones are just the most convenient to label because they are easiest to spot, and easiest to enforce.

Where I'm from, I think it is 25 bucks, but you have to pay court costs and that is about 60 or 65 bucks.

I don't know about New York but I think it should be outlawed across the board.
