Banning Cell Phones in Cars

Some people worry that talking and driving is making America's roads more dangerous. New York State recently banned hand-held cell phones while driving, and many other states are looking at bans. But not everyone's convinced that talking on the phone and driving is any more risky than eating and driving or fiddling with the radio. They say driver education is the answer, not more laws. Laura talks with George Getz, with the Libertarian party based in Washington DC, and Fran Bents, Vice President of Dynamic Science Inc., and General Manager of Research, Science and Technology division there.
