Cell phones are no different. Ban may backfire As soon as a new technology comes on the scene, the nannies rush in to tax it, regulate it or ban it.
Cell phones are no different.
There are proposals to make it illegal to use a cell phone while driving. But, when politicians act in haste, the results usually are less than perfect. But the American Medical Association found after an exhaustive study that the bill has done nothing to reduce crime. While it has superficial appeal, the idea of banning cell phone use in autos may end up costing more lives than it saves. Witnesses to a shooting, robbery, auto accident or other emergency matter can contact police, fire and rescue personnel more quickly because of cell phones.
