There were 28 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: “Should New Hampshire ban the hand-held use of cellphones and other electronic devices while driving?” Twenty-two people said yes; six people said no.
I say absolutely yes. There are people texting and driving and you can see them on the road. They’re weaving all over the road. They scare the hell out of me. So I think they should absolutely ban the use of cell phones or texting while they’re driving.
