You are DANGEROUS!!!! we have had 3 people in my area killed in accidents because they were texting/talking on the phone while driving(2 were head-on, the 3rd hit a tree)....there is currently legislation in the works in Mississippi to make texting while driving illegal with a $500 fine for the first offense. There is an addendum on that same bill that cell phone use in a vehicle must be "hands free".

The whole idea is so that it minimizes the drivers distractions, and the driver can keep both both hands on the wheel.

The most ignorant thing I have seen is a woman leaving her home, gets into her car, picks up her phone, dials a number, then starts it up and drives off:wtf:


FWIW, 95% of people with cell phones, have absolutely no *NEED* for one.
