Re: [ST] RE: Mobile phones

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I know about cell phones:

1. Everyone complains that they've almost been killed by some idiot 
with a cell phone.

2. Everyone who talks on a cell phone while driving says that it 
doesn't distract them.

They both can't be true.

When you have a deadly instrument in your hands, I don't care how 
well you THINK you can multitask, your entire focus should be on 
driving. You can't seriously evaluate on your own how safe you are. 
We all think we're the safest drivers around, but if that were true, 
there wouldn't be accidents.
