Cell phones are different. A cell phone doesn't impair your ability
to reason properly, only to pay attention to the task of driving.


Then could you please explain to me a person's total loss of
coordination and reasoning caused by a cell phone ringing?


LOL
That's easy. Cell phones are designed to get your attention by
startling you. They do. In fact, you are encouraged to select a ring
tone that will gaurantee it.The idea is a ring tone that sounds like
a metal tray of bolts
hitting the floor from a six foot dead drop without the change of
shorts. The reflex is both autonomic as well as conditioned. You
can't help yourself.

Cellular providers make money when you use your equipment so they
encourage
users to do so whenever possible but that doesn't necessarily mean
they are
trying to kill their customers.

You wouldn't shoot skeet and talk on the phone would you?
Of course not, and if your phone distracted you while shooting you'd
turn the damned thing off without thinking about it.

Well, when you're shooting skeet, you're doing something important.
Not like when driving.

Agreed. We wouldn't want those pesky skeet to over run the world now would
we :)

Enjoy the holiday Steve.
