I've been wondering what makes cell phones more dangerous than CB radios and the other hand held radios of various sorts. They've been around for decades and their use has not been outlawed. Is it the nature of the device or the nature of it's common useage? If it's the useage, I don't see how hands free devices are less distracting.

I'll tell you what it is.....It is the road rage generation that states if you don't hurry up and get out of my way I will blow up and crack your head with a tire iron......This is what our society has come to. We have a society that criticizes those that dirve slowly and takes their frustrations attributing it to the cell phone useage.

I agree.And, here's something to ponder...are they banning the PHONE, or are they banning the DISTRACTION?

If they're banning the distraction then they had better stop pretty women from walking the streets because THAT'S a distraction to most men.
