Umm... sorry. But how can you compare the two. Sure, talking on you cell phone is stupid... and it causes accidents, but how many people have died from cell phone related accidents in comparison to how many people drunk drivers kill?

Bottom line. People are coming up murdered. Thats right, murdered. If I walk down the street and start firing a gun... sure, I might hit someone.. I might not. It's the same gamble.
And they never see it coming. They never have a chance. Because some asshole was "okay to drive".
