I think stopping on a highway and then trying to get going while merging with traffic is WAY MORE DANGEROUS than just speaking on the cell phone. Now if you're one of these who are trying to write, speak and smoke without the hands free, then you're a real public danger. And I do see some of these on the road. There is talk about prohibiting cell phone conversations here in Québec. It's not a law yet, but I'll bet it's not far. I thought that when I'd be grown up I'd be free... I guess the government here is trying a little too hard to play mom...

In fact, the studies showed that you are more impaired than using alcohol. Even if you use a hands-free device. I have actually missed an exit more than once while conversing on the phone. It's not like you're listening to the radio. Your mind goes somewhere else.
