    Look, Mom! No hands!

    During the holiday season, I found myself on the road a lot and sitting in traffic like many of you. While at a light, I decided to count the number of people who were on their cell phones, with the phones glued to the side of their heads, and not using hands-free devices. At multiple lights, at least half of the people counted were guilty of this. I took another survey after the holidays and, at one point, seven of the 10 people on their phones weren’t using them hands-free.

    For Christmas, I gave two of my kids Bluetooth devices. Now that they are licensed drivers, I think it’s important to help ensure that they are driving safely. In Georgia, using your cell phone without a hands-free device while driving is not against the law, but my question is should it be? What about your state?
