		<description>Using your mobile phone while driving is not good. These drivers are accountable when they figure in an accident, they are not paying attention to the road while driving. It&#039;s so okay to tweet or text - just do so in the proper places.

		<description>Agree with Shawn and David that the increased utility of cell phones is a factor, particularly with the number of apps that are useful for travelers. While I&#039;m sure Twitter is a factor, I&#039;d be shocked if it were a significant one. There&#039;s simply too much stuff to do with your phone. A shame that driving is a full-time job.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think problem has more to do with sheer numbers. Virtually everyone has a cell phone now. For many it&#039;s their primary or only telecommunications device. Teen drivers are a great example. They are heavy users of mobile devices and tend to prefer texting to voice. Many have had cell phones for years before they ever get behind the wheel. It&#039;s a habit that&#039;s very hard to break.</description>

		<description>Thanks, K-mama. I understand your point on not enough troopers and too many laws, but we have to do something or those almost accidents are going to start becoming actual ones.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Honestly, I think this is more about personal responsibility than anything else. We all need to just discipline ourselves to not pick up the phone while driving. If we don&#039;t, we&#039;re opening the government regulation can of worms. Unfortunately, that&#039;s probably where we&#039;re going.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for the comment.</description>

		<description>I live in a state in which cell use without a headset has been illegal for quite some time - but almost every car I see has someone talking on the phone without one. Never have I seen anyone pulled over for using a cell phone without a headset. I have also had the unpleasant experience of being in a car while the driver was checking his email - and returning emails - while he was driving. I was 5 months pregnant at the time, new in the job, and the driver was my boss - who laughed at me when I offered to drive so he could focus on work. (note: I&#039;m no longer in that job)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now, I can&#039;t throw too many stones because I have been known on occasion to talk on the phone without a headset - particularly since I lost mine a couple of weeks ago and just got a new one today. That said, I use voice-dialing at all times - with or without a headset - and never once have I texted while driving. Have I been tempted? Absolutely; it&#039;s the curse of owning a crackberry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But just as I scream and yell and honk my horn and shake my fist at someone reading a newspaper or a novel while driving (no joke I&#039;ve seen this), or at someone shaving or putting on make-up, so to do I do the same when I see someone texting while driving.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When you&#039;re driving, you need to pay attention. Case in point: I was almost in an accident yesterday because I pulled out of a parking lot onto a busy road and the woman in the other lane decided she needed to be in the lane I pulled into - and changed lanes without signaling just as I was pulling into the lane. Had she signaled I wouldn&#039;t have pulled out because I&#039;d have seen what she intended to do. Neither one of us was on a cell phone.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I actually just talked myself into wondering how effective such legislation would be. After all, using a cell phone without a headset is illegal but I see far less use of headsets than without. Changing lanes without signaling is illegal but it&#039;s done all the time. The speed limit on I84 through Bristol is 55 but average speed seems to be 80.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m for such legislation, but doubt it would be effective. After all, we don&#039;t have enough money to hire enough state troopers to enforce the laws we have - how do we expect them to enforce MORE rules?</description>

		<description>There&#039;s obviously a lot of gray areas for us to iron out here. I think it&#039;s got to be a common sense thing, but most people don&#039;t have that. Look at how impossible it is for regular folks to successfully merge. Heh.</description>
