Long before you make a law banning cells you should pass a law banning consumption of food or beverage while driving.




I disagree in terms of level of distraction.
True, consuming food or drinks are a distraction but they could never absorb our concentration to the level or duration a call on a cell phone would.
I would think that this is the point.
Also, if a cell phone is hand held, it also blocks peripheral vision to a certain degree.
