“You’re not aware of your surroundings when you’re on your phone, so yes.”

 

Linda Robertson

“Yes. Everyone is on their phone and they are not paying attention.”

 

Florentino Villares
Dobbs Ferry

“Yes they should, because most people don’t pay attention to traffic lights or crosswalks.”

 

Ryan Collette
Irvington
