I hate people who drive around talking on their phones. And I don't give a flying **** about "hands free." Hands are not the problem - attention is.

I still remember the day I was almost crashed into by three different SUV's, all of whose drivers were yammering away on the cell phones.

Now we need to amend the law to add texting to the list of forbotten activities.

Notice how none of the studies cited mention any special inability by teens to use hands-free cell phones while driving.

Do they have any reasonable reason to put stricter restrictions on teens then everyone else? Probably not. They probably just knew they could get away with it, so why not?

And it is ageism, not agism. And you're right. It is.

That isn't entirely true. Teens on a cell phone are distracted, yes, and their focus on the road dips to be equal to that of someone over 65 not on a cell phone. To outright ban teens on phones is as justified as banning all drivers over 65.

Furthermore, graduated driver's licenses don't really work. In California at least they haven't had much effect on driving except making teens a bit safer and making those just out of their teens more dangerous. It hasn't prepared people for driving, just delayed their learning curve.

But even if teens have a generally higher accident rate, there doesn't appear to be anything specific about teens having a bigger problem with cell phones (and hands free phones no less) than other drivers.

You are a silly man.

You are aware that teenagers' cell phones are not permanently attached to their hands or ears, right? Are you sure about that? They seem to be...

It is infuriating that the insurgents are now using school buses and the elderly to terrorize iraq. Cell phones detonating IEDs are old school, but that crap just bends the rules of war to Stalinburlesque levels

Three hundred fewer deaths is nothing especially since this is evolution in action and only the retards are driving off cliffs. Complete waste of time.

On a slightly different subject:

I've also seen people (usually females in their 20's) talking on the cell phones and walking into intersections against the red light. They are oblivious as to what is going on.

Hottie: "Get away from me, you pervert!"
Zribbler: "No, I have to give you mouth to mouth, or else you'll die!"
