As one who has to talk on the phone - a lot - for a living, I rarely find myself calling my friends and family as, well, talking on the phone in my own time takes too much energy. I love my friends and family and do want to hear about the minutia of their lives, but damnit why can't everyone just move near me so I can talk to them in person...preferably over drinks.
So when I do call people, I do it from my cellphone in the car because I'm bored and Top 40 doesn't do much for me. I have a headset, so I'm not THAT dangerous, but hypocrite that I am I do get nervous when I see other drivers talking on their phones. You know who they are - head cocked to one side to hold it in place or the telltale hand next to ear. Watching someone try to switch lanes when they're on the phone is pure entertainment - their whole body does a 360 I think. After witnessing a few of these types, I can see why the proverbial THEY frown upon driving and dialing - THEY say it's as dangerous as drunk driving, but I haven't found a study yet to put it on the same plane as drunk dialing.
Scarier still - old people...with big hats on...driving 15 in a 25 mph zone...and talking on a phone. shudder.
