Cell phones - time for state to get on board

Dear Editor:

I have noticed that some cities near to my home (Allentown and Bethlehem) have adopted laws that prohibit the use of cell phones while driving. When will Gov. Rendell join these cities, to pass the law of no cell phone use while driving in Pennsylvania?

It is very hazardous to those using their cell phones as well as those around them. I've lived in New Jersey for some time and had no problem adjusting to their law of no cell phones. It will reduce the accident rate in Pennsylvania and keep everyone on the road safer.

Thank you,
