Operating and listening to the radio is not the same as using a cell phone. It is a habit or procedure that has been well established over decades and it is only whack jobs such as you who would make an absurd statement that it is "one of the overwhelming causes of accidents." You're one unlucky friend does not a statistic make.
You might be late to the party but the consequences have been studied. The people pulling the most bone-headed moves on the road are those on their hand-held cell phones. The proposed Chicago ban is not for hand-free phones, and you would know this if you had been listening to the radio instead of peeing off everybody else on the road with you poor driving while on the phone.

You also made the wingie mistake of taking what the OP said and exaggerating it into a blanket ban on cell phone usage. When somebody says "ban cell phones while driving" it is accepted that usage such as pulling over and reporting crimes, or handsfree usage, is still OK. The issue has been debated for a long enough time there is a common understanding about what the phrase means, and the proposed rule is clear on that. And how do you get your Limba if you're always on the phone and not listening to the radio you pseudo-wacko-lib?
