3 of 4 Utahns support tougher ban on cellphone use while driving

Three of every four Utahns apparently would like to send a message to people who use cellphones while driving: Hang up, already.

A new poll commissioned by The Salt Lake Tribune and the University of Utah’s Hinckley Institute of Politics shows that by a 75-23 margin, Utahns support HB64 by Rep. Carol Moss, D-Holladay — legislation that would clearly ban the use of hand-held cellphones while driving. It would still allow use of hands-free devices.

Q: Would you support or oppose a Utah lawmaker’s proposal to ban the use of hand-held cellphones while driving?
