Here there's signs posted in the lobby for people to shut off their cell phones. If you use one while seated in the theatre, you will be asked to leave the building. The ushers are very prompt with this. This rocks. *thumbs up*

I totally agree that phones should not be used in a classroom setting. There is no need for this.
As for the driving, people should not talk while their vehicle is moving. Of course, the problem is everyone thinks that they are the exception to the rule. In this case they should follow themselves driving & talking on the phone. When they see themselves all over the place maybe they will clue in.
But I doubt it. I'm afraid this will be a public battle for some time, look how long it took to get people not to smoke in public places.
