[quote cbelt3]I have no issues talking and driving.
87% of drivers rate themselves above average. :-)
[quote cbelt3]
What enrages me are the idiots who are holding a phone in one hand yammering away, a cup of coffee in the other, and wonder why they are yawing into my lane and i'm waving my hands at them.
Maybe it's me, but I think this is a generational thing (in addition to the gender issues I highlighted above).
Whenever I see a "yakking to distraction" driver, it's always a younger female, oblivious to the world around her. In fact, younger people of both sexes are the most obnoxious when it comes to public cell phone use. Not only do they not have a clue that other people don't want to hear (half of their) their conversations, they don't even care that everybody can. It must be that they never knew a time when phone conversations were "private" and we had "phone booths" which had "doors."
