Use a headest or handsfree apparatus.

I've got mine (Blackberry) integrated into my Valkyrie's audio system, as does Blondie. Her car is also set up in this way.

When we're on the road, the phones' built-in MP3 players come in handy. Unless it's a dire emergency, I refuse to answer a call while on the bikes...I ride to get away from that sort of thing.

I never use a cell phone while driving.  I'm too busy reading today's paper and drinking coffee.  Shocked

You know it used to bug me to see people talking on cell phones while driving.....but lately I have seen so much worse and there are so many more phone talkers that the phones just dont bother me that much any more.  I have seen

A Sonic shake being enjoyed, the kind you have to use a spoon!  She had to be steering with her knees!

Ive seen a newspaper sprawled out on the steering wheel.

There was a guy that had his whole driving compartment spread out with his McDonalds happy meal.

And the woman doing complete face make-up using the rear view mirror while driving.

But of course the worst of the offenders are the idiots that gas up get their beer in them brown bag disguises and think its ok to drive off into the afternoon enjoying a cold one!!!!!!!

After seeng this kind of crap on a daily basis, I have come to the conclusion.....if someone cant safely drive and talk on the phone, they are not a good enough driver to have a license and should stop driving immediately!!!  tickedoff

There was an incident reported in the Lansing Journal (MI) last year where a cop pulled over a woman driving eraticlly. When the cop came to the drivers door to ask for her licence and registration, she yelled through the window that it was very rude of him (cop) to interrupt her phone conversation. She continued on the phone, so the cop broke her window and proceeded to arrested her.

She is now trying to sue the local police department. She feels that her right to free speach has been violated,...because she was making a toll free call.

No $hit!

Just shows,.....Ya can't fix stupidity
