Should it be illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving?

"In the city it should be. I'm from New Hampshire, and I don't think it would be necessary there. [But] in the city there's more to pay attention to."
— Matt Burgess
Roxbury

"It should be legal. You can learn how to do it right. It's a matter of personal responsibility that doesn't need to be regulated."
— Kerry Jesser
Dorchester

"Yes, it's a disraction. But it's fine if you talk with a Bluetooth [device] because your hands are free."
— Bill Adams
Wallingford, Conn.

"I don't think it should be illegal like it is in New York [for hand-held phones]. But wireless headsets are more conducive for safe driving. I've actually been in an accident that happened because I was on a cell phone."
— Arthur Kalinowski
Brighton
