"If you put a 20-year-old driver behind the wheel with a cell phone, their reaction times are the same as a 70-year-old driver who is not using a cell phone," said University of Utah psychology professor David Strayer. "It's like instantly aging a large number of drivers."

So are we banning 70 year old drivers next? Cause that's essentially what this quote is suggesting... logically its saying we should ban cellphones cause they are dangerous, because they lower reaction time to that of older drivers that we freely allow to drive?

June 29, 2006 -- Three years after the preliminary results first were presented at a scientific meeting and drew wide attention, University of Utah psychologists have published a study showing that motorists who talk on handheld or hands-free cellular phones are as impaired as drunken drivers.

Funny that they mention hands-free... since that is essentially like carrying a conversation with another person in the car. I guess it brings new meaning to the term "drunk with talk"
