We've all done it; talking on our cell phones while driving. Now some Colorado lawmakers want it to stop. They're pushing a bill to ban all hand held cell phone use behind the wheel.

The recent death of a Colorado child is what prompted this; a 9-year-old was killed in Fort Collins while riding her bike. Police say the woman who hit her was talking on a cell phone.

Darren Forney says he misses his 9-year-old daughter Erica more and more everyday.

"She was always making us laugh and making us smile," Forney said.

On November 25th, Erica was riding her bike when she was hit by an SUV; she died two days later. Police say the woman who hit Erica was on her cell phone when she swerved into the bike lane.

"I think there should be a law. Any law that would help prevent tragedies like this from happening, that would be a law that I would support," Forney said.

Five states have already passed hands free driving laws and lawmakers say recent studies show talking on your cell while driving is just as dangerous as driving drunk.

Drivers we spoke with say they agree talking on your cell phone while driving is distracting.

"It happens a lot, everywhere," said one driver.

"They try to take a corner, holding a phone, can't make it around the corner,” said another.

Lawmakers have tried this before in Colorado, but have failed. The Forneys are hopeful this year that will change and drivers will think twice. They don't want any other family to go through what they have.

According to the Colorado State Patrol at least five people were killed in accidents that involved cells phones just last year. Twelve have been killed in the past two years.

If this law passes, drivers caught talking could be ticketed and fined, that is unless they use a hands free device.
