Good idea or too much government?

Yes, it’s a distraction to talk on a cell phone while driving, but do we need a law to legislate common sense? Marshfield (population 18,848) is not the first, nor will it be the last, to take this action.

Marshfield outlaws cell phones while driving

MARSHFIELD, Wis. (AP) — If you’re driving through Marshfield, you had better not talk on your cell phone.

The city is banning cell phones while driving. (Ban started Monday.)

The ban states any drivers caught talking on their cell phones within city limits will be fined $64.90.

It does offer exceptions for drivers with hands-free headsets, C.B. radios, or those making 911 calls.
