Look Tim, I don't know what your deal is with this. Do you have a cell phone glued to your ear? Is this some sort of defensive thing? If it is, let's not discuss it. But don't try to sell opinion as valid in the face of a fairly large number of tests and compelling road accident data. The only people around here consistently driving like morons are cell phone users. It's ubiquitous. And quite frankly I'm sick of their embarrassed little "Gee, so sorry I almost hit you" waves. If other people were constantly abusing the rules of the road I'd be equally pissed off, but they aren't. The reason states are enacting laws about this is because cell phone users are not being responsible, and many of them are acting like bozos. There may be other dangerous people on the roads, but it's clear ALL people are more dangerous with a cell phone glued to their ear- and hands free doesn't solve it. You can pretend to yourself it's about studies that exaggerate it- but I'm not sure why you'd want to- unless it's just defensive, in which case I understand but do not sympathize.
