Anyone who thinks that talking OR texting while driving is not a hazard is just plain silly. All of us have had a close call (no pun intended) with a driver talking or texting. Most people have difficulty driving with 2 hands, much less one. Remember when drinking and driving was considered a non issue? This is just as dangerous!

Kentucky law states while the vehicle is in motion. Does this mean one can text while at a stop light, or stop sign? Some States the vehicle must be stopped and turned off before the driver can text. I would like to see a phone number that one could call and report texting drivers, give the plate number, time and description of the person.

This law just may be what saves you from being hit head on or almost being hit head because someone was on a cell phone. This has happen to me. Do you want to get that phone call that someone you love has been in a car wreck and then find out it was due to someone being on a cell phone. I think not.

I am against cell phone texting. People get distracted when they text. They look at their phone and not the road. And as far as talking on cell phones I am against that too. People should pull over to talk on them. They get distracted when they are talking on them and trying to drive.

HOW DUMB ARE YOU? This is just another law telling you how inept your government thinks you are. If police officers can type on a laptop and drive how much better are they than you? You should be ashamed of being sheeple and govern your own children.

I am all for laws against cellphone usage while driving. Mostly texting while driving should be banned. My 19 year old son was hit head on by a woman texting on a cellphone. It killed her and injured my son badly. This accident happened just one month ago. I have to say texting on a cellphone is not worth what both of families have been through.
