How many times have you been in a car with a driver who can't carry on a conversation without taking his/her eyes off the road, and turning their head to face you--while you sit there grabbing the edges of your seat as you close in on the car ahead of you?
When I was about 30 years younger, I was with someone who ran a cyclist into the weeds trying to light his pipe  |
It has everything to do with the phones.Your very last statement says it all Mike.Trying to light the pipe and driving with your knee is no different than trying to make a right hand turn onto a highway phone in one hand and the other trying to turn the wheel.No difference except puffing up while driving is illegal.
As far as your initial statement I know I can most certainly carry on a conversation with a passenger and keep both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road,its called common sense.Common sense also dictates STAY OFF THE %$%$%$%$ING CELL WHILE DRIVING.My life is worth more than some a-holes conversation.Period
