I favor a "no phones while driving" law. If it's that important, pull off into a service station and return the call.

This morning, I watched in amazement as a driver in front of me read the newspaper. He apparently realized he had reached his exit when he cut across 3 lanes of traffic, and the "gore point" to get to an exit ramp.

At the bottom of the ramp, the light changed and he was busy reading his paper. I honked. He looked, rasied his paper as if to say "Can't you see I'm reading!" and then drove on.

When you are driving, drive. Don't eat, don't read, don't talk on the fucking telephone. Drive the car. If you hit me because you are distracted, my lawyers will clean you out.
