It seems reasonable that any distraction could add to the likelyhood of an  
accident.  Cell phone use, jamming to the radio, arguing with the spouse,  pets 
jumping around the car, young sweet things in halter tops and shorts on the  
sidewalk, sun glare in the early morning or late afternoon, that unexplained  
itch in the nether regions, a full bladder...need I go on?
 
Ya drives yer car and ya takes yer chances.  No laundry list of laws  will 
fix that.  The new generation of self driving cars that everyone seems  to be 
working on may help, but I expect they will have their own problems,  
especially 
when mixed with LBCs and hotrods.

The  thing that puts us at risk seems to be the cell phone
conversation itself  not the handheld vs. handsfree.  That would imply that
all the laws  will not make us safer and the only reason that they are
passing laws is to  make us think we are safer and so we be live that the
people in the capital  are doing their jobs.  Sort of like a federal
carjacking law.

I  have been punted from behind by a guy on a cell phone.  Sometimes I use  a
cell phone in the car, it is a Windows Mobile 6.0 phone, with a blue  tooth
headset and Voice Command dialing.  Guilty as charged, but I  don't spend a
lot time on the phone.

All that said, I am not sure  what is the solution.  But to find one we have
to know what is the  problem.

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual  Skinners Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet  pleasingly formed, 
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for  experienced 
hands, 
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be  inspected and 
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the Haynes shop  manual.
