Accidents occur while the driver is drinking coffee, we should ban
drive-up windows.


I am particularly amused by this line of argument about making cell
phone use illegal..... while pilots are *required* by law to chat on
the radio... all the while maintaining control in 3-space not
2-space.... in all phases of flight.

The bottom line is that people too dense to be able to divide their
attention shouldn't be driving anyway... chances are that dame would
have rear-ended that trailer because she was sipping a drink, lighting
a cigarette, checking her makeup, or looking at something that caught
her eye out of the side window..... cell phones make a convenient
scapegoat... next up for litigation will be rear view mirrors, maps,
GPSs.....
I think the whole thing came on when the insurance industry had the police
and highway types itemize on-cell or not - with belt or not.....
for the stats and then that changed the whole thing.

The person might be putting on lipstick, brushing hair, driving and eating while
using the cell phone. I have seen people brush out rolled up hair and others
reading newspapers. Then there is the carpool issues.

It is simply control and another (sorry Mom) Mother law. The government
has deemed itself to be everyones 'Mother' and care for the children...
