Carrying on a complicated business conversation or even getting the shopping list from the Mrs. on a cell phone is a far different thing than idle chit-chat or even serious conversation with people who are experiencing the same potentally life threatening event (operating a motor vehicle) as you are.


EVERY study of any import that's come out in the last 5 years says that it's the conversation, not the technology (Borgish hands free device or even cochlear DNA implant) that's the problem, and as much of a problem as DUI at that.


Hang up the phone and f*cking drive!

What makes this particularly annoying is that operating a motor vehicle skillfully and safely is a SKILL that should be enjoyed and recognized in another human being.

I have friends and family members I will let drive, and other ones I won't.

FWIW, it's been 20 years since my last moving violation and I probably have over a thousand laps in competition.

Operating a motor vehicle is a highly complicated task and when done well is a joy to behold, even in rush hour traffic.

Get good at it and enjoy it!
