If It's Illegal To Have A TV Within View Of The Driver, Why Should Cell-Phones Be Any Different?
Now more than ever the technology exists to have a mini-LCD television installed right there in the dash of your car, yet it's considered illegal. And for good reason! It's too high-risk a distraction. No one disputes or questions that. Well, guess what? Cell phones are just as dangerous as a TV! They cause you to take your eyes off the road, they cause you to take your hands off the wheel, and they cause your thoughts to be taken off of the focus needed to drive responsibly. Cell phones, just like TV's, are high-risk distractions. And a distraction is a distraction.
