The momentum is building and it proves that people refuse to ignore this danger any longer. We are finally being taken seriously.

JUST PUT THE PHONE DOWN. Nobody is that important.
Almost got run off the road twice last week by people looking at facebook. Its just reckless.
My best friend was hit by a guy on his phone. He survived but he hasnt walked right since. Ban this garbage already.
So tired of seeing people swerving in their lanes in traffic just to check a text. Its selfish and dangerous for everyone.
Arizona. Ban it now!
Arizona. Ban it now!
Please save someone by not phones!
United States -- Ban it now! On Aug. 29, Richard C. Seigh, 69, of Millville -- my Uncle -- was crossing the street in the 3500 block of South Delsea Drive when he was hit in the southbound interior lane by a black Dodge pickup going 50 miles per hour. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was replying to a text when he changed lanes to where my Uncle was. The man has been charged with death by auto, leaving the scene of an accident with serious bodily injury, hindering an investigation, reckless driving, use of a cellphone while driving and use of a cellphone by a probationary driver, according to police reports. My Uncle died an empty death, a death without meaning -- all on account of some guy who was TEXTING WHILE DRIVING! On average, nine people a day are killed by people who Text While Driving, nationwide. That means that right now 2043 have died nationwide so far this year because of people Texting While Driving. 2043 dead so far. 2043 people who died needlessly. It is beyond my understanding why there are not stricter laws on the books about this with stringent penalties; after all, there has been laws against people driving when intoxicated. Make it the law -- and make it a law with sharp teeth: Prohibit and Punish Texting While Driving. And do it NOW!

aug 29 2015 - my uncle crossed a street in Vineland NJ. An 18 yr driving in the opposite lane picked up his ph to reply to a text, he swerved and hit my uncle. My uncle died before he hit the ground
Park it first! Don't text and drive!
As an EMT please ban cellphones while driving.
Too many have been maimed and killed including a member of my family.

Coming from a truck driver. I see it every single day. People are obsessed with their screens and not the road.
