     What a stupid proposal.  More bad logic.  If talking on a cell phone is such a distraction, shouldn't we ban passengers in automobiles?  After all, they may talk to the driver.

     how about we list cell phone usage as a contributing factor in accidents on the accident reports. that way, we could gain accurate knowledge of exactly how many people are using cell phones when they crash their cars.

    a distracted driver is many times more dangerous than a drunk driver.

    either talk, or drive.

     Look, I don't like being behind someone who is not focused on driving because they are on a cell phone, but this law is ineffective and unnecessary.  I also don't like getting stuck behind someone who lurks in the left lane on the express way.  I don't like dealing with a driver that is focused on their kids in the back seat instead of the road.  Shall I go on?  There are good drivers and bad drivers and this law won't fix that.  We don't need more laws in Michigan!
