[QUOTE="isguy, post: 882358, member: 910"] 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! [/QUOTE]
