Isn’t it hard enough to drive with all that goes on and steering, shifting as well as other important things like driving the speed limit and in your lane? People have to make things worse with the whole talking on the phone thing. I mean really, it is hard enough just carrying on a conversation OR driving…much less hanging on to a receiver and making turns and such. You have a choice between a kink in the neck or only having one hand to steer with.

I drive around a lot and there are so many people that seem to have no idea that they are traveling 15 or so miles below the speed limit or that they are not firmly planted in only one lane of traffic.

If you are going to talk on the phone while your are driving for heavens sake get a damn ear piece. Wireless ones are only about $50 if you shop around and don’t most phones still come with wired ear pieces? Not sure but if you have the money for a cell phone and a plan get a stinkin’ ear piece.

What about this whole sending text messages while driving? You might as well be reading a book. What idiot decided that it was safe to do that? Enough morons have done it to the point of people getting killed. What is so important that it cannot wait until you reach your destination? Is your exchange a life or death situation? NO (in case you were wondering if it is.) So stop it, use your brain just a little.
