It depends on the person. I'm kinda in the middle. I try to avoid having a phone stuck to my ear when I'm driving, as that detracts from my attention to the road, as does trying to press buttons. I now have a phone with speaker- independent voice dial and I have a Bluetooth cordless handsfree, and it's great, I can keep my eyes on the road and my hands on the wheel at all times. I have "digit dial" so I can say "digit dial, 760-555-1212" to dial even numbers that aren't in my phonebook. But it is true that even with a handsfree, some people will have trouble concentrating. OTOH, others have good enough concentration that they can use a cell phone in almost any conditions without problems... -- Steve Sobol, Professional Geek ** Java/VB/VC/PHP/Perl ** Linux/*BSD/Windows Apple Valley, California PGP:0xE3AE35ED It's all fun and games until someone starts a bonfire in the living room. |
