I've heard that talking on a hand-held cell phone is the equivalent of drunk-driving, maybe if a: They enforce the law. b: Made the penalties the same and as progressive as DWI less people would be talking on that phone.
I see it constantly, usually when I see someone driving erractically, (no signal, speeding up-slowing down) and I get an opportunity to pass, there they are with the cell to their ear, sometimes with the shoulder scrunched to hold it. Or they put the phone on speaker and hold it 6" or so from their mouth.

pardon moi, i said please.
btw. i agree with the ban. practically every near miss i have in my feeder is with a 4 wheeler or another truck with the driver on the cell.
believe it or not there was life before cell phones........ a simpler life ( but that's another topic )

My profound apologies for my rudimentary translation.
. Life would be better without cells. No one can smile at you when you pass in the store because their hand is now surgically attached to their ear. Life is so impersonal, now.

Of all the inventions that can be considered both a blessing and a curse, cell phones would have to take top prize.

From BlueHDMC: "I've heard that talking on a hand-held cell phone is the equivalent of drunk-driving".
This statement is partially true, as it has been shown repeatedly that the act of TALKING on a cell phone, hand held or otherwise, is the equivalent of drunk driving. The act of carrying on a conversation, be it on a hand held phone, hands free device, or to a passenger in your vehicle, or even listening to the radio, are equally distracting. That's what amazes me about all of the laws in the majority of states that prohibit talking on a hand held phone. There is no data to indicate there is actually any benefit to the law, but it makes the politicians feel good because they've done something, and the lobby for the phone accessories industry is laughing all the way to the bank.
On a side note, the quote from Clevon Little may be what he is best known for from an all time classic Mel Brook's movie!
