There is something about all my previous posts that would enable someone to predict that I was going to say that driving with a cellphone isn't always as dangerous as people say?

I'm wondering who that "certain person" is whose posts he doesn't read....

I should have been more detailed. I was somewhat referring to where you said people continue arguments from other threads.

I was trying to say, "It's human nature to bring up the past, and have preconceived opinions and anonymity is the only way to be able to debate without it." Then you get super trolls..

For the record studies in Australia and Britain have shown that talking with a passenger doesn't have the same deleterious effect to driving ability as does talking on a cell phone, which is generally found to be equivalent to having had three 'standard' alcoholic drinks. On the other hand, using a headset while talking on a cell phone is statistically almost the same as talking on a hand-held phone while driving.

Well, personally the reverse is true for me, which leads me to believe there are others out there like me.

Then I guess that laws should be written for the exceptions, rather than the rule huh?

Assuming we are to believe that the studies you cited were accurate enough to determine "the rule"

About a half dozen unrelated and independent studies, at this point, in those two countries. Another recent one in Canada also.
