I wish cell phone use was banned for all drivers. The accident rate would definitely go down.

>>>Apropos of nothing, over the weekend I had a flashback to a scene involving you. It was at one of the early Whilfests and everyone was congregating in the Hyatt lobby to go to dinner. We were delayed because one of us (don't remember who) was talking to a street person passing through. Pretty wacko. Afterwards you said, "Do not engage them. Disengage! Disengage!" LOL

>>They managed to pass the hand-free cell phone only law here. It takes effect in July I believe. In my opinion it's just another bit of big brother, but at least people's hands will now be free to eat, read, change cds, change clothes and put on makeup while talking on the hands-free phone on the freeway.
