Well as a single female, driving alone alot at night coming back from late night gigs, and sometimes having to go through not so great parts of town, or out on lonely county roads...........I consider a cell phone an essential piece of safty equipment. I recently had a tire blow out on a highway in East St. Louis Illinois. Really did not want to be changing a tire there at two in the morning. Quick call, help arrived changed my tire and I was SAFELY on my way. To you an annoyance, to me.......a saftyline.
