You're being ridiculous. People tend to judge the actions of others based on their own limitations. The fact that you don't feel you can drive and speak on the phone safely doesn’t mean others can't. If you don't like people using cell phones while they drive then put your phone down and worry about yourself.

This “one-size fits all” mentality is the greatest tool of big government liberalism. Banning speaking on a cell phone while driving only causes people to do more texting while driving. And then banning texting while driving only forces already distracted texting drivers to lower their cell phones deeper into their laps so they won't be seen by the prying eyes of others outside their car. Of course, they'll have an even harder time driving the car, too, because they'll have to look straight down to text...which they will do.

Talking on the cell phone isn't even the top category of distracted driving contributing to accidents. If you want to be bubble-wrapped for safety by your government, move to New York with the rest of the liberal lunatics who don't feel they can handle the choice of a large soda at the theater, or need some brain-dead bureaucrat to control the salt they eat.
