Wants to keep cellphones in vehicles

So the Acorn supports no cellphones. Does anyone at the Acorn have students who have stuff to do after school where communication is vital to getting them to where they need to go? Anyone ever have to rush from place to place after school with kids, their friends, schedules changing constantly, etc?

Are we going to require pulling the car over so we can make calls and cause more accidents that will occur from that maneuver? How about banning a conversation with someone in the passenger seat or the backseats? Seems to me that's at least as distracting than a cellphone.

How about eating in a car? It takes more than one hand for that. Or brushing your hair?

Heck, let's just ban cars altogether. That solves it! Howard Benson Calabasas

When motorists use cellphones in their vehicles, they are distracted. They are particu- larly vulnerable when confronted with a potential accident that re- quires a spontaneous reaction. Talking with somebody else in the car is not the same as con- versing with someone who isn't there.
