This p***es me off to no end. Invariably, the idiot who cuts you off on the highway, or changes lanes without a turn signal, or can't stay in a lane to save his life, what is he doing? You finally pull up next to that person and you peek over (or rather, it's the passenger who peeks over!) and the idiot has their cell phone up to their ear.
I mean, let's face it. As much as we'd like to believe we're multi-taskers, human beings were never meant to do more than one thing at a time. Especially when doing something that's potentially dangerous as driving!
If you MUST continue that 2 hour conversation about the latest doings of Brangelina and Britney Spears or "Why in the h*** Brett Favre just won't stay retired", at least shell out the moolah to get a hands-free headset for the phone. At least then, you'd be keeping both hands on the wheel as opposed to just one.
Mythbusters (a show I like to watch occasionally) recently confirmed the myth that "Talking on a cell phone while driving is as dangerous as drunk driving." (See Episode 33) Just food for thought....
