I just don't get why it's unsafe to talk on the cell when driving. If you have a manual transmission just get a headset. How is it different from talking to the person next to you? If the problem is because of taking a hand off of the steering wheel then they'd have to make it illegal to eat or smoke.

On the phone, you have to concentrate more to understand what is said. I've had conversations using my headset and couldn't remember how the hell I got to where I was at.

Uh?? I'll be a smart ass here. Sound is sound whether it comes from a cell phone, a mouth, or a car speaker.
In humans and other mammals, hair cell bundles are arranged in four long, parallel columns on a gauzy strip of tissue called the basilar membrane. This membrane, just over an inch long, coils within the cochlea, a bony, snail-shaped structure about the size of a pea that is located deep inside the inner ear.
Sound waves generated by mechanical forces, such as a bow being drawn across a string, water splashing on a hard surface, or air being expelled across the larynx, cause the eardrum???and, in turn, the three tiny bones of the middle ear???to vibrate. The last of these three bones (the stapes, or "stirrup") jiggles a flexible layer of tissue at the base of the cochlea. This pressure sends waves rippling along the basilar membrane, stimulating some of its hair cells.
These cells then send out a rapid-fire code of electrical signals about the frequency, intensity, and duration of a sound. The messages travel through auditory nerve fibers that run from the base of the hair cells to the center of the cochlea, and from there to the brain. After several relays within the brain, the messages finally reach the auditory areas of the cerebral cortex, which process and interpret these signals as a musical phrase, a dripping faucet, a human voice, or any of the myriad sounds in the world around us at any particular moment.
People who can drive while using a cell phone can drive while NOT using a cell phone.
How can lighting a small object on fire and putting it in your month be safer than talking on a cell phone while driving. I know more people who had accidents because of cigerattes than cell phones.
Ya I agree, There is nothing so annoying then going down on a girl and having her boyfriend calling her on her cell asking her where the hell she is. Damn bitch should have turned it offOriginally posted by Paynne
But you gotta be careful and set it to vibrate when you're at the movies, eating out,

I live in a metropolitan area and I couldnt get service half the time. Customer service was also poor. I currently have Verizon and the coverage and customer service is unmatched.

I carry a cell phone for work because I'm on call 24/7. BUT, I hate to see people driving with one crammed in their ear. Why can't these people use the damn headset their phone came with?

cell phones are great, but if people are going to drive with one they at least need a "hands free" set-up.
Never had mine do that, but I actually was going down on a girl when her cell phone rang and it was her boyfriend. Luckily it was the morning after and business was already finishedOriginally posted by Rob_NC
Did you ever find out where she was?
