Understandable, but here in the States, the majority of us drives automatics. Personally, I don't think that holding a cell phone is any different than holding a cup of coffee (actually, it's less dangerous, as there's nothing to spill). The slope gets pretty slippery, though, and next thing you know, there'll be a law that says I can't even have a snack in the car, or change CD's, or reach into the glovebox, or...

Final note OT (but we can discuss off list if you'd like!):

No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session.  -- Mark Twain (1866)

  (I know, I sound like I'm rich, with $$ to burn on a BlueTooth headset which costs more than the !@#$%ing phone; but no, sorry to disappoint, I live in New York, where we have one of those g-d foresaken cell phone laws against driving while holding the phone...don't get me started...).



Actually, I'm all for laws which stop people driving with only one hand on the wheel.  Here in the UK (where manual gearboxes are the norm) the number of people who use a mobile, and take their one hand off the wheel to change gear, is frightening!
