Lauren Fix and Melissa Francis debate government intervention in our vehicles. The Department of Transportation and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood want to ban most electronic device use while driving, including Bluetooth phone calls.

A new study suggests that cell phones and electronic devices are NOT the culprit for most distracted driving accidents.
