I dont live in a high traffic area. (Southern Alabama lets get real)
But 9 times out of 10 when someone cuts me off, or does something
stupid while driving I see the ***** phone plastered to their face.
What is even worse is parking lots, where they make stupid decisions
and pay no attention to anything around them except that phone.

A distraction is a distraction, whether it is spoken or poking

without adding this kind of foolishness. I firmly believe that when
you are behind the wheel of a powered vehicle, that is you whole job
of the moment, and nothing else should be occupy your attention.
Maybe the traffic around Washington DC is more forgiving, but here
in NJ, it is bumper to bumper 4 lanes wide at 70+ mph. You cannot
let your mind off the road even for a couple of seconds, let alone
minutes. I am not a Luddite, but I think that "social networking"
technology has its place, and vehicle operation has its place, but
they do not overlap.
