I have yet to see anything which purports to prove that cell phones are a greater distraction than children in the car.
Yes, small children can be a big distraction. That's why child car seats should include gags. But so what? Cell phone use, and even worse, text messaging, is a dangerous distraction. It doesn't have to be greater than anything else to warrant control.
Quoted message said:
So until we outlaw children in the car, cell phone use should be allowed to continue.
There's no logic to that. If A and B are both bad, you don't have to wait for A to be regulated before you tackle B. -aem
