For all you motorcycle riders out there, you can relate, when I say that drivers doin' everythin' but drivin' can and do kill. A car is not a toy to be fooled with! So when you see a college sticker stay back and keep aware. This is truly the generation zero. And if you're not proud to be a Texan then leave!

There are too many people talking on cell phones while driving and it is a VERY BIG AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM ! There are too many accidents about to happen, and it can all be prevented with passing the law to BAN CELL PHONE USE WITHOUT SPEAKER PHONE OR HANDS FREE DEVISE!

Is it really so important to be on your cell phone so much that you must put other people's safety at risk? I don't think this law is unfair. There are already laws that restrict behavior that puts other people at risk, this is just another one. If you really think that you can be a safe driver while on your cell phone, you are wrong wrong wrong. I can’t believe that people are complaining about this law!

I dont care what your laws are, just make up your mind and let people know. I come here 6-7 times a year and would certainly not like getting any tickets. I have been to several states and not one has a sign will cell phone restrictions posted in airports or rental car locations. Unless we are the people you would like to target! It is dangerous to use a phone while driving but people have to remember they are still driving and that needs to be the priority! Pull your head out! Texas is not alone in this battle.

Who gives you the dam right to put my life in danger by talking or texting on your cell phone. Personally, I feel Texas should adopt a law like the state of Utah did, you can view it here, http://handsfreeinfo.com/utah_text_messaging_death I drive the freeway everyday with you morons that choose to text and bs on the cell phone while driving in bumper to bumper traffic.

A: Driving your car isn't a civil libertiy, its a privilege. If the government doesn't like how you handle your privilege, they can revoke it or give you a fine because you abused the privilege. B: The law applies to the stupid citizens because, if everyone was a genius and knew their duties in society, there wouldn't be any laws in the first place. Can you think of a law that was designed for some reason OTHER THAN protecting society from stupid people? Neither can I. “…And yet another civil liberty is taken away because of those too stupid to handle themselves responsibly, thanks a lot guys”

People are going to do it anyway as there will be little enforcement and if you are caught its just a small fine. How are speed limits working for you? This is just a fundraiser law.

I do not like to talk on the phone while driving anyways. When I do and finally get off the phone I find myself not remembering the last few miles or so. Thats dangerous. Very dangerous. And I am sure this happens to everone too. Your concentration on driving goes down while on the phone.
