When I see people walking around talking on the cells, mostly about the most inane subjects, I get the feeling that they must need to be talking to someone or feel out of the loop. When driving they are a peril to everyone else, I am none to worried about their safety as they will get what they are asking for one day.
What ever happened to just driving in silence?
180, I couldn't agree with you more. I hate the damn things and wish they were never invented. Sure, in an emergency, they come in pretty handy but I hate to think how many people have been killed because someone was yakking or dialing while driving. As a motorcycle rider, I know the dangers first hand.
