If people had to talk on cellphones, they would wake up and keep their eyes on the road ahead as they would not have spare attention to drift

Obviously you don't drive in Toronto... where too many drivers can only be described as maniacal, cell phone (as one medium) distracted, oblivious, discourteous, self important assholes... I hope you are poking fun...

I heartily agree though that speed in itself is NOT the problem... at all.. The rules are made sadly to dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator ... and responsible folks suffer... problem is we suffer either way...

EDIT: I have to add that following behind the typical police officer in Toronto will show only more horrific and discourteous driving.. I guess they are leading by example...

I don't see any difference between people talking on a cell phone (via headphones, of course) and talking with someone in the passenger seat next to them.

It's when they start texting, or doing things that prevent them from having two free hands on the wheel, that should be regulated.
