MARIETTA, Ga. — The city of Marietta is expected to adopt a law that makes it illegal to hold your cellphone while driving.
It would be the second city in Cobb County to pass such a law.
Those supporting the law's passage told Channel 2's Tom Regan that the goal is to save lives.
The wrecks are not just from people texting on their smartphones but also holding them, looking at them and talking.
Each year distracted driving causes thousands of deaths nationwide, and in most cases that distraction involves cellphones.
Sean Sorrells told Regan he's not one of those people.
“(I use a) speaker phone or blue tooth,” Sorrells said. “No texting, no nothing."
