And now Chrysler is making surfing the Internet an integral part of the driving experience! OMG! There's gotta be a law.

You knew it! What you fear, Yep! He crossed the double line, A cell phone against his ear. Hang up and drive! Phone confine. You knew it! She blew the light! What’s that against her head? A cell phone shining bright, “Hang up and drive!” We said. From behind he slammed you. What address was he punching? GPS should set path true , Not sheet metal crunching. Few can multi-task and drive, Most just think they can do so, And from that, pain will arrive Unless we JUST SAY NO! © 2008 R. Leland Waldrip

I love this! California passed a law about "hands-free" cell phones, but that doesn't mean our drivers, especially young ones, are going to keep their minds on the road. Well written, Edwin! Eileen

I tend to agree with this. Cell phone abuse I guess you call it.

No truer words were ever spoken! Particularly in verse - and fine verse at that.

Distractions are just accidents waiting to happen. I face this every day. Who do they think they are to litter my way with their inattentiveness?

A lot of things can be done while on the phone: dishes, ironing, watering the garden.....but driving? No, please no!
Good writing on a terribly timely topic.
