Decisions, Decisions...


When faced with the dilemma of whether or not to talk on your mobile device while driving, be it through text messaging, instant messaging or having an actual phone conversation, there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration. In the state of Connecticut is against the law to use a hand-held mobile device while in the act of operating an automobile. Many people feel that they are likely to drive better when they are utilizing their mobile device because of the fact that they are attempting to concentrate on two things at once. Some people may even try to say that they could simply utilize the GPS on their cell phone and consequently not have to pay as close of attention to the road. Failure to comply with said legislation will lead to a rather hefty fine and a mark on your driving record. The choice of course is yours in the end, but it seems as though the quandry is resolved rather simply. To chat or not to chat, that is the question.

  1. I think banning cell phones didn't make a difference because Bluetooth is equally distracting. It's not the fact of holding the phone; it's the fact that someone using Bluetooth is still mentally distracted and engrossed in conversation and not on driving. That's the real problem.

  2. It is up to each of us not only to drive safely, but also to spread awareness about the dangers of distracted driving.
