Anytime anyone gets behind the wheel, lives are put at risk. But Mississippi State Representative Billy Broomfield believes drivers using cell phones are also to blame.
Broomfield is proposing a statewide ban on cell phone usage. If the bill passes it wouldn't ban cell phone use completely, drivers would be required to use a hands free device.
"The ultimate goal is to give the authorities the opportunity and options of stopping you and reminding you that you're not complying with the law. If you can save one life and I think we will save quite a few with this law than it's worth it," Said Broomfield.
The bill will be presented during the next Mississippi legislative session in January.
