Bradley Jay: 'Do People Really Want A Full Cell Phone Driving Ban In The Bay State?'

The NTSB would like states to pass legislation banning both texting and talking on cell phones while driving.

I have predicted that local residents will want no part of such a thing so I have taken the Jay Talking camera out to find out. Was I right or was I wrong?

Even if people say they would favor a ban, actually honoring it is quite another thing. Do you really think people are going to wait till they can pull over to make a call? No way. I believe even those who favor such a law will break it.

I don't care what anyone says, the cell phone horse is out of the barn and it's never coming back. As I have said before, America is all about protecting the right to be wrong.

We have the right to paint our house mint green to annoy the neighbors, we have the right to wear pajama bottoms in public, and we have the right to endanger our lives and the lives of others by talking on the cell phone while driving.

How about if we actually practiced common sense without "the man" telling us we have to?
