Even better than that would be some device that fully shuts down cellphones when in the car.
Do you not travel with passengers?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), texting while driving is six times more dangerous than driving under the influence of alcohol.
Did you know that 82.4% of all statistics are made up right there on the spot?

Don't believe @45-70govt was advocating for the nanny bullshit, rather pointing out other distractions/circumstances that result in more deaths than drunk driving.

Zactly! I mean at least the drunk people are looking out the window as they drive. Ill take my chances on a guy with a slower reaction time vs a guy with no reaction time while his nose burried in the stupid phone.

I do, but they are normally gaged and tied up laying in my trunk. Kind of don't want them to have phone either.

Not advocating any of this. Rather, a slippery slope.

Then you need to tell me exactly what you think a "nanny state" is, because his post read "Even better than that would be some device that fully shuts down cellphones when in the car"?

Lots of things are distracting in cars: radios, eating, talking to people, looking at maps...my point is that banning cell phones in cars is dumb. Passengers use them, people in emergencies use them. Cell phones don't kill people, people kill people.

OK, fine, but calling them "passengers" is a stretch.

The simple answer to alcohol, cell phones, stupid people, bad people, is GOVERNMENT!!!

Just let the benevolent gvt have control over your car and they will make sure you are safe and able to travel to where they decide you are allowed! Trust us, we are the gvt! We are doing this for your own good! (Because free people can’t be trusted!)

I am indeed. However, my trips actually run north to south. I am trying to return them as fast as I can, but you can only get so many illegal aliens in the trunk of a Challenger. Though my work is important, it's a futile effort much like trying to rake leaves in the wind.

Cell phone use should definitely be blocked in automobiles. People got along fine without them in cars for 70 years.

How about being drunk AND texting while driving?

and here is the real reason Challengers are outselling Camaros and Mustangs.
