You don't stop on a highway......you want to turn off on a side street and find a parking place. No stopping on a freeway for me.

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.
