The British Columbia government is turning to its own citizens for feedback on a potential cellphone ban for drivers.

The province has examined how other areas (both within Canada and abroad) are banning cellphones/electronic devices and are considering a potential ban for drivers here in BC. But before they go and just pass a set of laws, they are turning to the Internet, and asking British Columbians to check out their website, read over the posted documents and answer a questionnaire.

The government documents note that there doesn't seem to be a difference in distraction level between hands-free or hands-on cellphone use, and that car stereos do not seem to have the same levels of distraction for drivers.

They also note that distractions account for nearly 25% of all crashes, which results in a significant cost of both life and money.
