Due to the popularity of cell phones, many people expect everyone to be available instantly all the time. But when people attempt to drive and use a cell phone at the same time, they often put everyone at risk on the road. That’s the conclusion of the National Transportation Safety Board, which supports banning cell phones while driving nationwide, including hands-free cell phones. “It’s about not being engaged at the task at hand,” NTSB chairman Deborah Herman said in a front-page New York Times article. “Lives are being lost in the blink of an eye.”

Many states across the country have taken a tough stance against texting while driving. Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma have all banned texting while driving for all drivers. Missouri prohibits drivers under 21 years old from texting while driving. But it’s not enough, according to Herman. She compared using a cell phone while driving to drunk driving. “It’s going to be very unpopular with some people,” Herman said, referring to the idea of completely banning drivers from using cell phones. “We’re not here to win a popularity contest. We’re here to do the right thing.”
