However, when it comes to using cell phones while sitting behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, the evidence is growing that it is a very bad thing indeed and voters in Vermont agree that it needs to stop.<\/p>\n<p>People who are on the road a great deal of their time regard being able to use a cell phone while driving as being a major convenience, but a recent poll suggests that the great majority of people in Vermont do not like it one little bit.&nbsp; The poll, which was conducted by Castleton College, discovered that 80 percent of people in Vermont are in favor of banning the use of cell phones while operating a motor vehicle.&nbsp; Only 17 percent were in opposition to the idea, with three percent on the fence.<\/p>\n<p>The poll did not however distinguish between the use of hands free cell phone and handheld devices, which seems to be an issue by itself.&nbsp; Hunter Wilson believes that \u201cit is a pretty good law because you are on your phone it distracts people\u201d but Garrett Quillia feels that the use of a hands free device is no different than simply talking to someone who is sitting in the car at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cell phones have become a constant presence in the everyday lives of many people all across the world.
