hornet17 Champion Author Vancouver Posts:1,323 Points:440,865 Joined:Aug 2011	Message Posted: May 1, 2012 9:24:18 AM Ignore hornet17 Report Abuse No and I wish I could ticket every one of the distracted people who I see doing it. It's amazing how badly people drive while on the phone.. and I'm sure almost every one of them would say that they can easily talk on the phone and drive perfectly well....guess what... you can't.... you're the only one on the road that doesn't realize it.

Titanic1985 Champion Author South Carolina Posts:6,283 Points:360,120 Joined:Dec 2010	Message Posted: Apr 20, 2012 11:21:18 AM Ignore Titanic1985 Report Abuse Your question is a bit misleading as you ask "Do you still talk on your cell phone while driving?" I never have and I had a cell phone in 1990 in a company vehicle before they became popular. The circuit board was bolted under the driver's seat and removable to a bag with a battery for portability. I always pulled off the road when making calls or call back depending on where the call was from (I used my pager for this). In my case, I often had to write something down, so it was best to pull off the road. As a sidebar note, airtime was $.65 a minute in the Washington D.C. area and I worked for AT&T (it was their car and phone).
