It should be illegal for any person to use a cell telephone in any vehicle, while any vehicle is moving. This is just plain common sense. Anyone that uses a cell phone while the vehicle is moving, should not even have a cell telephone in the first place.

Enough with the laws, laws and more laws. I agree with an earlier comment. The Republican party finds itself basically destroyed because of stupid stuff like your proposal. I thought for a while this idiotic behavior was limited to the national morons but not to be outdone Kentucky politicians are right there with them. Either get out of the Republican Party or back off.
