Law enforcement personnel from several agencies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area were interviewed in March 2000. They indicated that drivers' cellular telephone use is increasing, and they have witnessed some of the detrimental effects. Failure to obey traffic signs and signals or maintaining lane position was noted. Road rage was even indicated to be a result of driver-cellular telephone use. All those interviewed agreed that hands-free cellular telephone systems would be advantageous for drivers. 1, record 5, English, - hands%2Dfree%20cellular%20telephone
