I very rarely talk on the phone or talk to passengers while driving...because I can't do both at once. I know my limitations. It's a good thing I don't have a job that requires it.
I don't think it's the cell phones that cause the problem, they just illuminate it...the shitty driving skills that seem to plague the US, as has been previously stated. I was a terrible driver when I got my license, yet I passed my test. Why? Because the car broke down and the lazy teacher just passed us all. I had no business being behind the wheel at 16 (don't most places now require supervised driving until 18?) A week of driver "education", an hour of street driving, and bam, I have a license. Pair that with a self absorbed attitude, a lack of consideration for others, AND distractions, regardless of what they are...and it's no wonder we have so many damn accidents.
