I totally agree with this on most cases but you must be careful when stating this b/c I knew of a guy that grew up in a town south of me that had his arms cut off from a power take off when he was younger then 2 years old and he drove a car, combine, semi, ate with his feet, wrote with his feet, welded, drilled, worked for a Tire company which involved him sitting on tractor tires and using an air drill to remove the bolts. I actually witnessed him canoeing once holding the oar in the crook of his neck. He was the first person I thought of when I read this - and thought what about people with no arms and was slightly offended (no offense Connie). Now if I tried to drive with my legs I would need a wide open space b/c I would probably take out a loooot of stuff. But there are some cases.....
Now shaving your legs while driving - ewwww
I think that rates higher then the guy I saw reading the paper driving down I-75 once.

Until the bitter end, I will defend my right to use a cell phone while driving, while walking down the street
I'm with Jo on this one. A lot of times accidents are caused by cell phones yes, but accidents are also caused by drunk drivers, talking to someone IN the car with you, not paying attention at all. I am usually more careful when I am on the phone b/c I know I have to be. The times that I have pulled out in front of someone I wasn't on the phone b/c I was being careless. The time I hit a parked car in my work's parking lot (yep you read that right a PARKED car) I was NOT on my cell.
I have more of a problem with the illegal immigrants in this country driving with no license, no insurance, no green card thumbing their nose at everyone one of us that HAVE a driver's license, HAVE car licenses, and HAVE
insurance. Yes I probably feel a bit more obsessed with this since my parents and I were creamed while sitting in an intersection by the above and then the illegal passenger tried to run across a field until someone went after him and tackled him. I bet if you actually did the statistics accidents caused by illegals and people on cell phones - are probably pretty freakin close.
