Don't Drive and Call

I don't know you about you, but I find people driving while cellularing extremely annoying. If someone really needs to be on the phone while in their car, they should be required to use a hands-free ear-piece or speakerphone.

Apparently a 1997 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that car accidents are four times more likely to happen when a driver is using a cell phone. Considering the number of drivers I regularly see do crazy stunts while on the phone, I'm sure the ratio is even higher nowadays.

A few cities now have laws banning the use of cell phones in cars:

Counties/Cities		Fines
Conshohocken, PA		(up to) $1000
Carteret, NJ		(up to) $250
Marlboro, NJ		(up to) $250
Suffolk County, NY		$150
West Conshohocken, PA		$75
Brooklyn, OH		$3*

^*For the first offence, up to $100 afterwards.

Don't forget folks, we are licensed to drive, not licensed to be stupid.
