Re: Car phones

If you're going to pull over every time your cell phone rings, remember
to also pull over every time your passenger starts talking to you, your
kid in the baby seat starts screaming, or you start scanning for another
radio station.

As for any accident statistics, I'll start believing in them once I see
a study with statistically valid methods and sample size.
