I have made it a habit to note how many drivers doing stupid shit are talking on their cellphones when I see them and it is, no joke, almost 100% of drivers. I challenge you to do the same and you'll be horrified at how many common dangerous and annoying things are related to being on a cell phone at the time:
- Driving too slow
- Unable to stay in lane
- Swerving
- Not letting you merge (not paying attention)
- Etc. etc.
CNN.com - Study: Drivers on cells more likely to crash - Jul 12, 2005
