Driving while talking

We've all experienced it while driving. You think the person in the car ahead must be impaired and and maybe you even think of taking down their license plate number. But then when you pull up next to the driver, they are talking on a cell phone, or even worse, trying to text. Should we really allow them to do this?

Those who wish to talk or text while driving say their cellphones are necessities. Also they say that because of their job sometimes they need to call clients or a co-worker about the upcoming that morning. Another thing they say is that it is no different than changing a radio station, lighting a cigarette, or changing the ac. According to them you should ban anything distracting while driving if you ban cellphones.

Cellphones shouldn't be used when you drive. The Mythbusters did a test to see if being drunk or carrying on a conversation on a cellphone was more dangerous on the road. They found out that carrying on a conversation, they were more likely to get into an accident than if they were drunk. It sounds odd rather having a drunk person driving than a person on a cellphone. But really just be smart and pull over and take the call or don't answer.
