The Cleveland suburb of Brooklyn passed a law making it a minor misdemeanor, punishable by a fine, to use a cell phone while driving unless both hands are on the steering wheel. This is a law that should be mandatory in every urban city. Cell phones should be banned from other areas such as in theaters, comedy clubs and sporting events.
Some people have a cell phone, a beeper and e-mail.
Some even have a beeper and e-mail on their cell phone. I would guess that ninety percent of the cell phone calls are by losers that call into radio talk shows while they drive across town. They don't need a cell phone. No one needs to reach these people. They have an answering machine at home and voice-mail at the office.
