The truth is that holding a conversation on a cellphone while driving is no more distracting than talking to a passenger, tuning the radio or adjusting the rear-view mirror.

I disagree with that part. The cellphone conversation demands your immediate and continued attention as the other activities do not.

You are correct sir. 99% of the time I see someone meandering slowly down the highway while they weave to and fro, the driver is on a cell phone.

People go into a trance and drive like it when on the phone in a car.
