FWIW, I rarely talk while I`m driving. but when I do the call comes second to driving and paying attention to the road. I`ve never cut anyone off, veered across the road or ran over a motorcycle! Those that say it can`t be done, obviously can`t do it! I`ve seen people in a car that can`t even drive and change the radio or heater/AC. I`m not worried about me, but the idiots around me, and there are a lot of them!

And comparing talking on a cell phone to DUI, is ridiculous and just another reason that supports my statement above!

Sadly you could not be more wrong. Study after study has demonstrated that someone using a cell phone typically has the same motor skills as an intoxicated driver who is twice the legal limit (.16) and texting is far more dangerous than a phone call.

There is no way your first paragraph can be accurate as well. If you are on the phone how do you know you have never cut someone off? I have had lots of distracted drivers violate my right of way and drive on blissfully unaware or simply not caring.

The saddest part of your post is the attitude that I can do it, its the others that are the problem. Distracted driving is against the law, period! But then those pesky laws are just for other people.... right?

:S

So very correct, it was that type of logic that the "professional" driver had who drove into my daughter while she was stopped at a red light.

OK - so now were talking about unsafe driving earlier in the thread where posters advise to call the police. Now at the bottom of the same thread, we are now talking about distracted driving while using the cell phone!

Thanks for proving my point. This whole thread should be deleted due to the fact that it contradicts itself.
