Kinda lost it while driving today (dumb).

Not looking to fire that old argument up again....but it has been proven that cell phone use while driving distracts you to at least some degree.

Not to mention when you are on the phone, eating and/or drinking, and yelling at the "idiot" who just "stopped short" in front of you (did they really stop short or were you pre-occupied?)

Driving isnt about being macho or studly.....and driving while yapping isnt gonna get you any awards for that abaility..b.ut it may get you a ticket these days.

My driver instructor back when I learned to drive was an old greya haired gent with years under his belt....never forget his words:

"When you are driving, there should be ONE thing one your mind...driving. Both hands on the wheel, even if your best gal is in the seat next to you, eyes on the road and mind on the road."

There is no phone call that is so important that it needs to be done that very moment. And if it IS that important, pull over.

I am guilty though..try to only use it in the car for urgent stuff and when stopped....

I watch too many people around here on cell phones trying to drive....riding a motorcycle everyday I watch extra careful....and believe me, you can tell who is yapping on the phone versus who isnt.

We are very much a "gotta do it all right now" society, no worry about the side effects.

Jsut my two cents.
