Funny, you should bring this up.  There was a move in the state
senate here, (State of Illinois, USA) to ban the use of
a cell phone while driving.   Fortunitly, it was defeated.
Personally, I talk while driving all the time, and never have a
problem.  The only time it came close to a problem is when I was
pageing my wife while on an off ramp.  She has one of those
sky-pagers that needs a pin number entered, along with the phone
number.
In fact, most people I know can handle driving with one hand.
Why do you bring it up?  Did you hit something while talking on the
phone?
 Blessed Be
