Your second paragraph explains my point well. Only a complete and utter

things at once, just because a few morons are incapable of it. If I'm
driving along with my phone to my ear, and I need to swerve round
something, I will simply drop the phone. I have done so in the past.

Good for you. Not everyone thinks like that.

Then they will die. No big deal.

I don't think phones should be banned, but drivers must be educated.

Just let the **** ones write their cars off.

There are times I call home to see what's for dinner, other time I would
ignore it due to traffic conditions..

Sometimes I can't get the damn thing out of my pocket without standing up.

Texting is a different situation. I never look at my phone while driving.

I do and have. In fact I've done 90mph on a motorway while texting with a broken arm.
