But the person was on a cell phone? You say tomato and I say tomatoe. People have been careless driving for years....and yet the rate of death and accidents has grown by leaps and bounds since the inception of the cell phone??

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Gotta disagree Larry.
Things were MUCH worse (and deadly) in years past with drinking and driving !

I am betting there are more deaths and injuries due to cell use than alcohol??

There was no doubt.This guy was on his cell ,I saw the whites of his eyes as my truck swerved to avoid him.He was on the goddamn phone.

No tomatos or tomatoes here.This dousch almost killed Jane and I because he was on the phone and could not properly drive his vehicle.

And yes BF the accident/death HAS grown by leaps and bounds since the inception of the cell phone.Time to ban handheld cells while driving.You won't change my mind.

I am not sure if you realize that we are on the same page BW?? I agree cell phones should be banned from use while driving...but hands free is not the answer! Talking on the phone while driving is as much a distraction as reading, putting on makeup, etc. People need to focus...we agree there also!
