Well, my cell phone is how my children get in touch with me when I go somewhere or how I keep in touch with my husband when he’s at work.
That’s fine; just don’t use it while driving.
However, I very, very, VERY rarely talk while I'm driving. Its simply not worth it to get involved in an accident.
Oh, and I never, ever text and have no intention of doing so. If something is that important its worth a phone call.
