To the Editor:
Wisconsin needs to pass a law forbidding the use of cell phones while driving for all ages! It is very clear: people using their cell phones while driving are usually distracted and do dangers things like not stopping when a school bus has stopped with its lights on and sign out! A child was almost hit by a motorist talking on his cell phones and did not stop for a bus stop in Howards Grove last week! Does a child have to be injured or killed to get the state's attention on this? It needs to be stopped now and would be all for a bill banning drivers using their cells while driving! It is a law in other states! Wisconsin should be next to do it!
