F/U texting and driving, that Missouri crash, NTSB recommends ban on cell phone use while driving
#26
My recollection is that there have been insurance-company studies that showed that any kind of phone use was not just a 'distraction' (like the radio, or even talking to someone in the car), but led to the driver's mind just leaving the road and heading to another space. So handheld vs. hands-free didn't matter; it was the conversation with someone in a different place.

If true, that's an argument for specific rules against cell-phone use.

Texting, of course, is a no-brainer, as it's virtually impossible to perform and still keep eyes and attention on the road.

SDGuy, where are the heater controls on the Model A? There is a heater, right?
