I don't know how many times I had to avoid an accident because people are using their cell phone and not paying attention. How stupid can people be that they need to talk while driving and failing to pay attention to what is going on around them on the road!
I am so against driving and talking on the phone. I come from back in the day where if your phone rang and you didn't answer, you were either not home or didn't want to be bothered. When did it become so important that you had to be on 24 hour call? I think cell phones are wonderful for families with kids and emergencies.

There are enough folks out there who can't drive paying attention. I try to steer away from them as much as I can. Who has that much to say or that kind of time to be texting nonstop?
