have been the real cause or that you were even using a headset of some sort.

But let's not forget who else may be in part responsible for a few of the accidents where the cell phone should not have been being used; like checking email, getting on the internet, text messaging, playing games. Why do we need that on our cell phones? At most it should only be on the really high-end phones that are most likely to be used as a real business tool, by business people that actually do have self-control, rather than as a cool gadget to check out on the way home.

When one gets in an accident the officers, insurance claims representatives, ect are trained to get information out of you as a witness or a victim without you knowing the answers you are giving may hinder you or someone else in someway. I'm not disagreeing with this tactic in fact I'm for it, that sometimes is the only way to get the truth.

This nation was founded on hard working, self-thinking, self-disciplined people. Over time we have evolved into a nation of:
1. lazy people that looks for the easy way out. Rather than severely punish those responsible for cell phone related accidents, lets just ban them.
2. non-thinking people that relies on our governments to tell use what we should be capable of doing.
3. people with no discipline and no regard for safety for them-selves or others. This refers to those that know they can't safely talk and drive at the same time but insist on doing it because the law hasn't instructed me otherwise.

We as a nation will never accelerate in anything if we are constantly lowering expectations because a few people can't seem to manage. If we follow that trend line give it a couple hundred years and we will all be living in caves again.
