I appreciate people describing how they are "safely" using cell phones to call in these situations, but my understanding of most cell phone laws is that it is legal to make an emergency call with a cell phone while driving.

OP here: You bring up an interesting point. Fortunately for us we were together. Had I been alone I would not have made the call on my cell. I do not ever use a cell phone while driving.

Study after study has shown that a person using a cell phone while driving is at least as impaired, often more so, than a drunk at .016 which = twice the legal limit. Texting is even worse. There is simply nothing anyone has to say that justifies driving and using a cell phone. Please folks, put the cell phone down or pull over and park if you need to make a call. :E
