Hmm....I'm pretty sure I saw something more dangerous to do while drive than using a cellphone.
On my commute home, the truck in front of me at the red light had an in dash dvd player going and based on the 60 seconds or so I was able to catch of it, it appears the driver was watching hardcore porn.

I'm not really prude, but I'm pretty sure that's got to be a distraction while driving.

4. I was at a red light....
...and since it was dusk, the brightness of the tv (and the er....headlights on the dvd screen) was VERY noticable.

12. I've heard of people being arrested for this exact thing.
A kind of lude behavior.

I was with some friends (not close friends) in their big ass Suburban and they put in a porno. I laughed it off, but it did make me feel uncomfortable that other people could see right in the truck - particularly at night.

18. On our trip to NY on Monday, I saw 2 different people TEXTING
not dialing - TEXTING - while driving.

F$@king TEXT MESSAGING ON THEIR F&%$KING BLACKBERRIES on the f$#king New Jersey Turnpike doing 85 f$#king miles per hour.

TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. While DRIVING.

At least the hardcore porn driver had one hand free...

19. I can't imagine why in-dash video
is legal. Talk about accidents waiting to happen.

Even stuff like GPS maps shouldn't function unless the vehicle isn't in gear.
