Talking on a cell phone while driving - <strong>even with hands-free equipment </strong>- is extremely distracting and dangerous. After doing a study in which they found that cell phone usage had the <em>same effect as a couple of stiff drinks</em>, my company banned <em>all</em> cell phone use while driving on Company business. It's far more distracting than other things like eating, adjusting the radio, or talking to companions in the car. I've completely stopped doing it...and I would suggest you do the same.

Not unless I tell her to, and trust me, I won't tell her about this one. But wait until you hear the next story. My mother and I almost met via car at an intersection near my brother's house. And no, it wasn't going to be my fault. Nope, she doesn’t. Not unless I tell her to, and trust me, I won’t tell her about this one.
