There have been several young people that have been killed in my neck of the woods because of cell phones.... some were talking, most were texting.

How hard is it to use an ear bud for hands free?? How hard is it to pull over somewhere if you absolutely *HAVE TO* send text messages.

In my humble opinion, 95% of the folks with cell phones don't *NEED* them, they are just a toy. The only folks that I can honestly say that have a need for a cell phone are EMS, Police, Fire, *legitmate* service businesses, medical professionals, etc. where there the potential for the loss of life, limb, and or property.

How can a child in elementery, middle, or high schools justify a *NEED* for a cell phone?? Its nothing more than an expensive toy for them. Why does a housewife have to come out of the house, get into the car, DIAL A NUMBER ON THE CELL PHONE, then start the car and drive off?? WTF??? They couldn't make the call before they left??

In this neck of the woods, if somebody does something really stoopid on the road, they are either on the phone and not paying attention to what they are doing, or they have a little wheelchair on their license plate, or BOTH.
