What makes me shake my head is the people who get into their car, start the engine, fire up the mobile and drive off - sans seat-belt too! Then watch them negotiate the next corner in a manual car with no hands to work the gear stick!
FWIW, I use a pre-paid for all mobile calls, because I couldn't see the sense in paying $20 a month on the lowest plan when I actually make about $2 worth of calls per month. I divert my work phone to it because I do need to hear whose calling me - but I won't answer while driving, and I will quickly cut off tele-marketers on any phone...
