Any laws regarding cell phone usage while driving don't take into account
the myriad other distractions that now exist or will exist in the future.
The only mandate that should be put into effect is "while driving, get yer
head out of yer ass and drive!"

I sweartagod this is true! Last Sunday, while on my way home from a short
road trip, I glanced at a billboard on a section of freeway under
construction on the south side of downtown Milwaukee that showed a picture
of someone using a cell phone while driving and said "Inclement weather
doesn't cause accidents; distractions do!"

There was also a note indicating that this message was brought to us by the
Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and some fine print that I couldn't
quite make out 50+ miles per hour.

um......did i mention that this was on a billboard......on the
freeway.....in a highly congested area with a heavy traffic flow....in a
construction zone?
