How To Split An Atom: Another Way Cell Phones Can Kill You

    Interesting post..... In July California will be outlawing operating a motor vehicle while using a cell phone. However, using a handsfree device such as a bluetooth, is entirely permissable.

    That is how it is in NY and a lot of States. Much better if you ask me since you will at least have two hands on the wheel.

    In UK using a mobile while driving OR even stationary with the ignition on has been illegal for some time now, tho' I think hands free devices are still ok.
    I think it's a good thing. You can always pull over for a call, unless it's a freeway.
    Far too often you saw people so engrossed in their mobile conversations that they couldn't possibly be paying proper attention to the road & other traffic.
    Obviously talking to a passenger or listening to them talk on their mobile can be distracting, but at least a passenger can yell out if they see a possible hazard, a function a mobile on its own doesn't have.

    Very interesting post. I can definately see how listening in on a conversation could affect your concentration. On the same hand though would having a conversation with someone in the passenger have the same affect

    I totally agree with this. Driving while talking on the phone is like putting on a blindfold and hoping for the best.
