I guess since there are now smoking police we must have cell phone police out there. Cripes what is the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia have better to do then to legislate more laws? Dont they have a tanking economy to address? Crime? Gangs? I thought there was more prevelent issues to address then simplistic cell phone useage. Of which comprises a low low low percentage of national accident #'s.

Addressing one issue does not mean that other issues cannot be addressed at the same time. Maybe you've never had a close call with a cell-phone talking driver. I've had several. Let 'em call when they're parked.

About a month ago, some idiot in a movie theater I was in answered his stupid cell phone (ringing with the opening of the 'Star Spangled Banner' of all things). He actually took the call, and was talking to someone until a guy a row back told him to hang it up and shut it off.

About five minutes later, the stupid phone rang again. This time, when the guy took it out to answer it, the same guy in the row behind him snatched the phone out of the guy's hand and pitched it at the screen. Didn't say a word, just threw the guy's phone down to the front of the theater. The audience broke into spontaneous applause.

Now, there, nobody was in danger. On the freeway, though, every stupid driver talking on the cell phone and not paying attention to the road 100% is an accident waiting to happen.

Hang up and drive!
