The issue is not cell phones. The issue is not talking to passengers. The issue is driver training and awareness. I use the cell phone all the time while I'm driving. I have to. It's part of the job. I'm on handsfree, and the people at my station have gotten used to the fact that sometimes I'll stop talking in the middle of a sentence. That's because something's happening that requires my full attention. Unlike many drivers, I will immediately stop thinking about the phone call and divert all my attention to the road. Many drivers will do quite the opposite.
Banning cell phones is not the answer. Training drivers to drive well is.
