Should cell phone use be banned while driving?

A legistlation against abortion will receive my emphatic NO. But if you want to know what I think on the issue of using cell phone while driving , I will strongly support that it should be banned and anyone found flaunting the law be heavily fined.
Now you are wondering why I would be pro-choice and maintain a stern position on using cell phone while driving. Abortion is a personal decision and the effect both emotional and health-wise is also personal. When someone aborts, the adverse effect is limited to her. Meanwhile, the adverse impact of using cell phone while driving is not likely to be limited to the person alone; but other road users.
The situation of people making call calls, answering calls, sending text messages while driving in my country - Nigeria, is very worrisome. A more strigent approach is very necessary to bring about order.
It is amazing how technologically dependent we have allowed ourselves to become. Most people become shaken and restless when they misplace their cell phone as if their lives depend on it. In as much as cell phone is quite useful, we must not allow ourselves to become its slave.
What would you say of such time when there was no mobile phone? Were people not living well and still doing good businesses? Why would we now allow what suppose to be a tool become our master? A lot of people complain of the fact that there could be emergencies that need to be attended to immediately. What if there are no possible means of getting to the scene of emergency after you have taking the call?
Using cell phone while driving brings about loss of concentration. If it is good news you become over-excited and slam the accelerator beyond acceptable speed, bad news may make an individual slam the break suddenly and cause the vehicle to summersault.
My major discontent with the use of cell phone is that when these accidents happen, in most cases, other road users are affected. Pedestrians just taking a walk may be hit. Someone driving at required speed may be run into. Other people in the same vehicle may also be badly affected.
I seriously support the ban on use of cell phone while driving, because whatever we need to communicate can be done while we park the car and take the call or reply the text. Can you imagine someone sending a text message while driving? In as much as I believe in multitasking, making a call or reading a text message while driving is ‘suicidal multitasking’.
We need a strong enlightenment on how technological dependent we have become. We also need to know how to cure ourselves of the hurry sickness that is eating into the fabrics of our society.
