Should Car Phones Be Banned?
A number of public-safety groups are lobbying Congress to pass legislation banning car phones, calling them dangerous and distracting to the driver. What do you think?
Greg Masters,
Veterinarian
"I couldn't concentrate on the road if I was yakking on the horn. It's distracting enough having my secretary blow me on those cross-town commutes."
Tad Herman,
Roofer
"Car phones? Oh, trés passé! Everybody who's anybody communicates via car fax."
Bob Dwyer,
Building Contractor
"I have no need for cars or phones, for I am a mollusk."
Helen Holt,
Systems Analyst
"Having a phone in the car has made it so much easier to swerve."
Lynette Eggert,
Chiropractor
"Talking on the phone while driving is an accident waiting to happen, so I just sit in the garage all day, waiting for calls."
Rick Nielsen,
Carpenter
"Car phone or no car phone, one thing is certain—I'm not gonna pay a lot for this muffler!"
