Pathetic how people have to be on cellphones 24/7 and to hell with anyone else.
At our workplace we still get dickheads who want you to see and hear them on their cellphones talking the utmost rubbish you have ever heard.At the counter they have to put their cellphones right in front of you so you can be impressed.
SAD. Showing me their cellphone is the same as showing me their armpit.IM NOT INTERESTED!
I don’t care about their pathetic “toy”.

meh, i don’t care i do it, i can’t text without looking though. and well when i’m on the highway i answer calls but in the city i i pull over.

i most definitly don’t brows the net while driving.

i like swerving in and out of cars, i’d rather do that then go on my phone while driving.

just leave em, let em crash their car and get a fine.

I’ve long been a public proponent of making mobile distractions an offence similar to drink driving. Why? Studies have shown that your chances of an accident as about the same as being over .05

And NSX, I’d argue that even hands free is not so great. A passenger knows when to shut up and not talk in dangerous traffic/situations. The person on the other end of a mobile is not as enlightened.

Why the hell would you even use your phone to browse the net whilst driving?

I can certianly agree with using a hands free to talk to somebody (Its about as distracting as talking to a passenger), but anything else is just stupid.

Twitter is a long derivative of twit.

Twit, for those who are young and don’t know stralian, is a less strong form of the word idiot, and those afflicted are twits (now known as twitters)

Hence, twitters are almost as bad as idiots.
