If people have so much free time on their hands that they can yack on a cell phone and type text messages, then they are not spending enough time paying attention to the road. If people are getting so bored from driving that they have to yack and yack or argue while driving, again, they aren't paying attention to the road. (I can converse while I drive... but please don't ask me to make any big decissions- too focused on the road. It really sucks that my dad yacks on a cell phone while he drives. He's figuring out million dollar budgets and crap when he should be focused on the driving. It gets to the point I won't call anybody on a cell phone because I don't want to interupt them while driving. IMO, the cell phone was one of the most misguided inventions ever.
Driving is the wrong time to multi-task. I'm actually a bit ashamed I never learned how to drive a manual. People who drive manuals, from what I have seen, are usually focused on driving, and it pretty much takes yacking on a cell phone out of the picture. Maybe an automatic transmission is an enabler?
