I think cell phone usage should be outlawed while driving with the exception of emergency calls.

But, like everything else in this country it is going to take X amount of people getting killed before it happens... some states already have outlawed it (New York for one) but most haven't... Every day I am passed on the interstate by someone doing 90 mph with a cell phone in their ear.

I'm also against the elderly driving without passing the tests as well... my grandfather (94 living in New York) had his taken away at 83 when he couldn't pass a vision test. On the other hand here in Georgia I have a friend who's grandfather is 91 and still has his license. He was involved in 2 wrecks over the last 3 years, one in Savannah where he pulled out in front of a lady and totaled both their cars, then another in Rincon where he rear ended a lady who was stopped waiting to turn, knocked her car into the oncoming lane where she was T-boned... 3 cars totaled in that wreck.

He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year but guess what, he still has his GA driver's license. The man can't drive 2 miles in his own city he's lived in for 30 years without getting lost... He'll keep driving until he kills himself or a family of 4 like the elderly man did last year when he went the wrong way on 95 and hit a car head on.

I just hope my tombstone doesn't say "killed by Mary Jane who was texting to find out if the pot roast was ready."
