Of course they should. We all know they cause people to crash. I see the following daily: People too late on the gas and too late on the brake because they were on some unimportant call.

Ive done it many many times to proove my point. set a cell phone down on a table or something, and hold one of your arms out 90 degrees from your body. have a friend push down on it while you try to keep your arm strait. have them push untill you can just barely keep your arm up. now stop. give yourself a second to recover. now pick up the cell phone and do the same thing, have them push as hard as they did before. they will push your arm down. but dont cheat yourself, only put as much effort into holding your arm up as you did before. remember, its not that it completely cripples your motor funcitions it makes you have to try harder to do the same thing. so yes, if you really want to, im sure you can keep your arm up, but it will require more effort.

Might be physcosematic. A scientific test must be done. Use 2 identical phones; one turned on and one turned off. Have a friend switch / not switch phones in another room, walk out, put the phone near you and repeat test many times. Tally your results and there is your conclusion.

Also can be used to see when you were at whatever toll booths, and how fast you got from booth a to booth b... also been stories of them sscrewing up and doublecharging or charging someone else's to yours... my dad and i still go the old fashioned way and use money.

Some speed limits are set/reset with monitoring by non-judicial methods. For example looking at the 85th percentile. Therefore it's a positive for them to see high average speeds, and one way to let them know you have enuff skill to drive 56MPH is by EZ-PASS.

The time for a cashless society is long overdue, and will happen one day. The better countries to live in have the high tech you so much fear. The third world countries don't. Do you want to live in one of them?.

Won't even try to be nice on this one, the cold hard fact is that they were teenage girls and akmost no teenage girls can drive. They prolly woulda hit you, cell phone or not.

What is it with girls??? Seriously I think that since they were born with only one head that they have less room for brain. I let my friend Jenna drive my truck out of a parking lot, across a street that had a stop light, and then into the next parking lot across from the one we were in. (she was supposed to anyways...) In the matter or 15 seconds, she almost (as in less than an inch away!) hit TWO cars in the first lot, then got to the light when it turned yellow. She had WAY more than enough time to decide to stop or go. It turned yellow when we were maybe 10 feet away from the crosswalk, so she SLAMS on the brake, then GUNS it, then SLAMS the brakes again. After that I yelled "WTF JUST GO!" and she freaked out and just put it in park...IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION! She started fliping out and made me run around to the drivers side and drive it home, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION! She is 2 months from 18 and still doesn't have her license. Thank God. Considering she is blonde, and her sister thats 19 has been in SEVEN accidents it's not too suprising. (the third one she ran into a car parked on the side of the freeway at 90mph and killed the guy in it) Oh by the way, her sisters insurance is STILL LOWER THAN MINE!

Cell phones should be banned but there are times where you just need to answer it. Just like the smiley in my sig.

No, I personally don't care to live in a third world country, but I would much rather that than helping out/ ushering in of the antichrists master plan to consume my sole, and take me to hell along with all the women driving around putting on makeup, lipstick, waxing their legs, plucking their eyebrows, looking in the rearview, reading a Daniel Steele novel, eating Yoplait, drinking a Frapaccino, messing with, kids in the back seat, practicing Yoga, AND TALKING ON THE DAMN PHONE!!!!

I forgot playing with themselves...lol....I've actually seen that acouple times, if they can hit the same spots that I can hit with my tongue, judging by the reactions I saw from it, that can be more than a distraction...that could be strait up fatal. lol
