Clearly common sense is different to different people eh?

I am fully aware that any type of cell phone use is taking a risk. However by limiting my use; I am limiting the risk. I'm now into the same category as the eater, the smoker, the guy changing stations on the radio, or the parent telling their kids to quit fighting back there.
What I am trying to say is that we all do things that distract us on the road; so the best thing to do is reduce the amount of time you are distracted. A 20 second phone call is better than a 30 minute gossip session.
Hoot- as for how texting is the same as talking; I just don't see it. As mentioned, talking doesn't involve taking your eyes off the road.
