Driving while on a cell phone may be most of your all's peeves, but there are MANY people who can manage this. There are a lot of stupid drivers out there who cause accidents, but most of those are not related to being on a cell phone.

I CAN park while on my phone, I CAN back out of my parking space while on my phone, I CAN drive down an interstate while on my phone, I CAN do almost ANYTHING while on my phone. Some people get annoyed if you don't have both hands on the wheel - I practiced with only one hand because I knew it's stupid to drive with two hands. You actually shake the car MORE when you have two hands on the wheel. So, I've learned how to drive with one hand and have another as a free hand - to talk on my phone. Again, I'm usually talking to my parents or one of my two friends who live in Pennsylvania and it's lucky if they get a chance to call me. I can't just hang up on them because people get pissed off that I'm on the phone while driving. If I CAN do it, I don't see why it should piss people off.

Heck, even my driver's ed teacher was a firm believer in having 100% devotion on the road if you were driving. But he said I'm one of those people who could manage talking on the phone and driving at the same time because I'm alert all the time. I knew how to drive before I went to him (I went for insurance purposes) and I had been driving for quite a while. He was just observing my observations.. I noticed a lot, and he was fully aware of that. And he said there are some people who can drive and talk on the phone at the same time.

So again, if I CAN do it, I don't see why it should upset people to see me driving down the road while on my cell phone. Or coming out of a parking spot.

My town is HUGE and I don't know my way around completely nor do I know the absolute short-cuts to places. So, more often than not, I'm calling my dad to ask him how to get somewhere way out. It makes no sense to pull over, ask him, and then get back on. I need to tell him where I am and I'm a hands-on learner... I won't learn if just given directions, I need to hear "take a left on Market" or "take a right on Broadway" or something.

Sorry with my rant... my peeve is when people criticize something as if EVERYONE who does it is bad, like driving while on their phones.
