Drivers talking on cell phones
It seems that about nine times out of ten, when we experience a “close-call” or a crazy driver during our daily commute, it is a person talking on a cell phone. It is also amazing how many people will be talking on their cell phone before they are even out of the parking ramp.
I drive a car with a manual transmission. I used to drive a manual because I enjoyed it, I still do to a degree, but now I realize that it is important to keeping my concentration on driving. It makes it very challenging to use a cell phone unless I am on the interstate.
If I ever have an accident in my car that is not my fault, I am virtually certain it will be a driver who was talking on their cell phone.
