Driving under the influence of cell phones

As we know almost everyone in the United States owns a cell phone. Police officers and many driving instructors see cell phones as a big problem while driving. A recent survey said that over 1.2 million people talk on their cell phones while driving. One person stated in the article that she never has a problem managing driving and talking on her cell phone at the same time, but does admit to being distracted when looking for her phone when it rings. She also stated that her friend has been in 11 different accidents because she has been talking on her cell phone, eating, or putting on her makeup. I think that anything can become a distraction when you are driving, even if you are thinking about something else. If we choose to ban cell phones while driving shouldn't we also ban eating or putting on makeup, etc? What do you think?
