Cellphones and Driving

[Madieu]

With the news in recent days that the train accident in California may have been caused by a train engineer who was texting while driving a train, I think that operating a cellphone while driving a car is more dangerous. Come to think of it, the train only has one way to go and it does not have to worry about pedestrians and hundreds of other cars.

I have been known to talk on the phone and drive at the same time, and I guess it depends on where you are driving, because what appears to be more of a threat to me are the nuts who drive 80+ miles an hour and dart in and out of traffic leaving barely enough space to pass another car. If I feel I'm too distracted to concentrate on driving while talking, I simply end the call. But if you are using a hands free device while talking, is that not the same as having someone riding in the car with you, or is that distracting too?
