[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2865824, member: 7157"] If I understand you correctly, you're talking about engaging in a distracting activity, while driving a car, that can take that long? I must not be reading it right, because there is no way any activity can be developed, much less sanctioned, that would require a driver to divert attention for that long from the real purpose of being behind the steering wheel of a vehicle, while underway. That's just beyond the pale of what would be reasonable. As for wasting anyone's time, you could just admit that the use of a cell phone while driving is not defensible the vast majority of the time. The amount of time you've put into this argument makes me wonder if you're one of "those" people who use a cell phone regularly while driving. I hope that never results in an accident for you, but given the studies which have proven that cell phone usage, whether hands-on or hands-free, result in a greater likelihood of an accident (4X to 25X greater chance), I'm not sure you'll beat the odds for too long. I'm all for letting people do what they want, but if that results in a fender bender, and potential injury, involving other people who had nothing to do with using a cell phone while driving, then I take exception to such a practice.
