Thats the problem....not whether you have a hand on the damn phone or not!!! 
Too bad about the young man though.....such a shame! |
Big Fish hit this out of the park, he is exactly right. I am a trained accident reconstruction officer, and it has been proven the conversation is the problem, not the cell phone, period. But, we'll all feel real good as a society when we are all forced to have hands free devices on board. Then, me and my buddies can stop you, write a big fat ticket to you and boost your insurance rates, yet again. (That was sarcasm) Which is really all it comes down to now isn't it?!
Well said Big Fish, well said!
