    I don't think people should talk on their cell phones when they drive.:biggrin_25513:Granted I use my blue tooth while driving, but that means I can use both hands to drive..... and if I get in uncomfortable driving positions example:Vail CO, or Black Mountain NC..... I get off my blue tooth.

    Other than driving a truck, iam also a vol. firefighter and one night a call went out MVA .car vs. truck. The driver of the car reached in the back seat to get her ringing cell phone taking her eyes off the road. and in a spit sec. she hit the truck head on. it ejected the passenger of car and pinned the driver so bad we had to cut the car in 3 pieces to get her out .Both lived but had to go throw a lot of surguery's. The man in the truck walked away without a scratch.
    YOU DON"T AWAY HAVE TOO ANWSER THAT CALL! STAY OFF THE PHONE WHILE U R DRIVING. I all most hit somebody every day that's talkin on the phone and they never look to see if any thing is coming B 4 they pull out. KEEP YOUR EYES ON EVERYBODY, CAUSE THERE NOT!
