text: As for making phone calls, this too should be banned. I understand that sometimes your family members or important calls may call needing you to stop somewhere on the way home, or you think it may be an emergency. If that is the case, then pull over to the side of the road, take the call, and then return to driving. If the call can wait, return it later. If it can't wait, you can always stop briefly. There should be no reason to pick up your phone while driving your car due to the hazard of the road you are putting your safety and other's safety at risk.
