The Missouri Department of Transportation backs a bill that would do just that, after an especially deadly 2021 on state highways.

I see drivers swerving all over the road because they are texting. Texting need to be done while the car is not moving. Hands free operation is not bad. My phone blue tooths into my radio.

Max

Many people can't drive without a phone in their hand. Those people should not be allowed to have a phone in their car.

Thanks for the misinformation False Fax Max

So govt saying you can't use a phone while driving because idiots will hurt or kill people is ok. But govt saying you must wear a mask or be vaxxed because idiots will hurt or kill people is just horrible and unconstitutional.?

Max

Simple Adam, this is a legislative action, not an unconstitutional mandate. There is a difference, just in case you and Jackal, can't figure that out.

Max

Hands free devices are available for cars for under $30, and one of my cars has one. They work great. No need to hold a phone.

We have to commute to work, approximately 70 miles every day. We fill up once a week, and the cost has risen from an average of $36.50 before the Iran war, to now $55.00 each week. We now have to budget more for gas than we did. And there is still nothing to show for any of this pointless conflic

Max

So, you support Iran? Well, I support America.

Im driving about 81.6 miles a day to get my son to daycare and then myself to work. Car averages 21 mpg and requires minimum 91 octane fuel. $70 twice a week plus what my husband spends in fuel for just traveling back and forth to work and home. Keeping son home 2 days from daycare to save on fuel.

You need a more fuel-efficient car.

While no one enjoys paying more $ gas is cheap for what you get.

I wish puppet Biden did not drain the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed political scheme, much like his unconstitutional student loan forgiveness, to buy votes. The oil pipelines to Canada, that Biden stopped, would be handy about now too. Voting for future Democrats will be very limited.

Max

Trump had just refilled it, after Obama drained it down to nothing.

Far bigger issues than fuel prices

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Fred

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Zaos Gonzolez

Your own safety is your own responsibility.
