[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1581698, member: 7157"] No, because the passenger is also aware of your surroundings and can provide feedback, whereas the person on the other end of the phone has no clue what's going on around you. It's a very different situation in that regard. Consider that the driving public somehow survived the first 100 years of the automobile without using cell phones; why can't we do that now? It's amazing that people think they [B]must[/B] take or make calls or text while driving... seriously, if the call or text is so important, then perhaps you should pull over and park so you can focus on that all-important bit of communication? When I first got a Blackberry years ago, I thought that was da bomb... until I realized how irresponsible it was to use the device while driving, so I started pulling over. After a while, I realized how silly that was, so I went back to what I was doing before - that is, before the Blackberry came along. Hmm, my life hasn't suffered as a result. I wouldn't care for it to suffer because someone else didn't see the validity of my perspective and insisted on using a cell phone while driving. [/QUOTE]
