Especially now that cell phone logs are becoming more and more prevelant in accident investigations.
I was nearly wiped off the face of the earth by some twit on a cell phone while I was on my motorcycle a couple years ago.

Don't want to derail the thread too much, but I'm starting to agree with this. Well, maybe not that it's
more dangerous, but certainly that it's equally dangerous.
It amazes me how terrible some people are at driving while talking on the phone. It has become a major pet peeve of mine to see people with their damn phone mashed against their face while driving.
It's almost inevitable... I'll be driving along and I'll see someone do something stupid, like cut someone off, or see someone poking along 20k under the limit, and sure as shiz, they're on the phone. Big smile on their face, off in la la land, yapping away, no idea that they almost hit someone, totally oblivious to the fact that they're holding up traffic.
