Driving while talking on your cell phone could soon be banned--if you're 18 or under.
That's what Kentucky Lawmaker Rick Nelson wants. Representative Nelson introduced legislation to ban all teen cell phone use, except in the case of an emergency.
Nelson says teen drivers need to be able to concentrate on the road without distractions.

I'm 20 years old and I believe if its going to be outlawed for teens it should be outlawed for any and every driver. NOT JUST TEENS! And it should be enforced ALSO.

I am 17 and I agree that cell phones should be banned while driving unless your using a handsfree headset. i see the dangers and know as a teen driver how little distractions affect you. BUT i also believe this should be for adults as well... I have seen just as many BAD drivers on the road that were adults on thier cell phones. In fact, two of my friends were hit in an intersection by an adult driver that was on their cell phone and ran the red light. I understand that teens are more likely to be distracted but not that much changes when you turn 19.
