Well, according to an article on Wired Magazine, it looks like there's no connection between talking on a cellphone while driving than those who don't. Granted, the general public cannot do more than two things at once, but as a whole, most people on cellphones are more careful than you might expect. I have to admit, sometimes I am not as careful while I'm on the phone while driving as I would normally be, but that doesn't mean I'm wreckless; I haven't been honked at while I'm the phone...I still signal when I'm turning or changing lanes.
I would have to say that I, personally, think that having a child in the car while driving is more distracting than talking on a cellphone. Think about it, you can always end the conversation on the phone but you cannot end the conversation with a child. When my little angel was a baby, she would do everything in her power to get my attention (cuz she wants daddy's attention) and I would have to, sometimes, put my arm back there to comfort her...but imagine a car full of kids that are screaming, talking, etc...granted, I don't think people who get into accidents due to their kids being distracted actually say that it was their kids being distracted, so we can't actually use this as a fair comparison...most people just assume that people who talk on cellphones are careless...
Like they say, do not assume, it makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me"...
