The DWI laws are already too strict - .08 is far too law. It is low enough that social drinkers and responsible adults get DUIs. Aside from that, lawmakers cannot continue to ban everything that causes an accident. I heard a guy on NPR saying that talking on the phone is a distraction and that he wants all form of talking on the phone banned - hands free or not.
Fine sir, ban talking on the phone since it is a distraction. Is he going to take my radio as well? Can I have someone in the car next to me because I will probably talk to him/her? What about my ADHD, am I allowed to drive since I will probably end up distracting myself with my own thoughts?
Accidents happen. Keep improving safety and teach proper driving techniques. That's all you can do. Banning everything will just cause good people to get fined for everyday things.
