The cell phone industry is in a state of denial similar to the tobacco industry in years past regarding the inherent and proven dangers of its product. There is growing evidence of physical harm and vehicular danger associated with these devices.

Many folks who drive while on their cell phone imitate the driving skills of a drunk or someone on drugs.... I have, on rare occasion, answered a call and I realized that my concentration is definitely split and that is not good.
Thanks Cal, for sharing. Warm regards to everyone
