Don it was made illegal to even have a phone in your hand here in England 3 years ago, you get a hefty fine and 3 points on your licence, 12 points and you are banned.
It always amazes me when i visit the states just how many people drive while on the mobile phone.

I was in line at the grocery store a couple of nights ago and there was a lady in front of me who couldn't even hang up from her phone call long enough to check out her groceries. She had a phone stuck to her ear and was taking her sweet old time taking one item at a time out of her cart and putting it on the counter. The cashier had to wait each time because the lady was so slow. I almost was at the point of telling her to hang the d*** thing up, but didn't want to come across as a jerk.

I think the cell phone and smart phones are a great invention, but they sure have created a bunch of problems by people who are so important and have such important things to discuss that they have to be glued to one 24-7. I hope they pass a federal law banning them from use in a car and ENFORCE it with stiff fines.
