Yeah, I guess we all do stupid shit while driving...that can be deadly. I have taken to leaving the radio on the same channel (my channel) and refusing to let the kids change it, so I don't end up adjusting it while driving - it's just too dangerous. Listening to the radio, talking or eating all have a similar effect to drinking and driving in terms of reduced attention and response time. And cell phones are such a mixed blessing, when you consider how much of our time is lost to technology already and how little able we are to escape from it. Sometimes I'm glad I can't afford one! :)
