I suppose I am the minority here but I do not believe in using a cell phone when behind the wheel. It furiates me when I see someone talking/texting on their phone while "sharing" the roadway with others. Both hands on the wheel and looking straight ahead should be the law. Ok, maybe that is a bit extreme, but studies have shown cell phone use is just as dangerous as drunk driving. Not only that but they have also shown hands free cell phones are just as dangerous as handheld cell phones.

Whenever I am driving, I can identify pretty much anyone who is talking/texting on their phone. Usually they drive slower and/or swerve in their lane. When I pass them and glance over, sure enough they are on the fucking phone. Oh it drives me crazy. They will not realize how much danger they are putting themselves in, not to mention everyone else, until they have an accident, or worse, kill someone.
