I live in a small college town and some of the students seem to have a cell phone epoxied to one ear; in the car,in the supermarket, everywhere. A professor friend of mine said that he tells his students to turn 'em off and keep 'em off while in his classroom. Otherwise he'll throw 'em out for disturbing the class and they'll have to petition to get back in. After he did it a couple of times( with the blessings of the Chair) they got the idea!

But it is scary to see someone driving through traffic talking on a phone and looking at papers in their lap at the same time. While drinking a cup of coffee! I'm sorry but that is NOT a legitimate use of a car phone or a car. One or the other. Not both.
