Cell Phones and Driving

My point is that holding a phone to your ear is not a distraction.

I have to disagree, maybe you or I could do it, but I see many in my travels that can't do it.

I drive for a living as you know, and driving an 18 with a phone stuck up to my ear is without a doubt a distraction and a hazard. I went Bluetooth before the fed made it a law we had to be hands free for that very reason.
