>>Sounds like we need Moms Against Cell Phones to take up arms. Oh, wait. What about sipping a cola while driving? Burger? Changing radio stations? Lighting a cigar? Turning around to get the kids to settle down? <<
Scientifically incorrect. When you operate a PDA to speak on the phone, text, etc. as opposed to listening to musing, eating, etc. you use different parts of your brain.
The part for talking on the phone and texting (the latter also requires taking your eyes off the road for extended periods) directly conflicts with the part needed to driving. If you are a human being you cannot overcome this. It is as bad and the same as drunk driving — you can’t overcome that either.
