It's been pretty much proven that cell phone usage causes serious distractions, unlike tuning the radio, snacking on a burger, etc. Do a little reading on the subject and you may be convinced...or maybe not.
We better ban passengers too then, after all, if it's the conversation not the act of holding the phone that's the issue we can't have distracted drivers carrying on conversations with passengers.
Or those helmet radio things so that motorcyclists can carry on a conversation with another nearby rider........
As I have stated a little research will open up a wonderful new world. The conversation, in and of itself, isn't the issue. It's the fact that the person is having a conversation with a person that isn't actually present that throws things off. A conversation with a person that is at hand isn't as distracting as a conversation with someone not present.
And yes, I agree that those stupid helmet radios are the same problem. I don't use 'em, don't like 'em, and try to convince others of the same thing.
I think the problem with this conversation is your trying to convince everybody to think like you.
