Fortunately, I'm not in my car anywhere near as often as I was prior to retirement. Even then, I'd never initiate a cell call while on the street. If a call came in, I'd have the caller hold while I found a safe place to get off the street. A real cell phone danger are the nuts who "text" while driving. It's bad enough to talk and keep your eyes on the road, but that can't be done while texting.

Personally, I am in favor of a citation for WWT, Walking While Talking....I cannot tell you the number of times I've nearly be mowed down by a 300 pound female yakking on her cell phone...<g> Of course, it also happens at malls, sans cells, when there are two or three slow people walking abreast, with their heads to the side engaged in chit chat while their prodigious bodies, move forward--usually into me!
