I think we should ban talking while walking, and the even more dangerous activity, chewing gum while walking.

My father-in-law (who is 85) tells me that there was a similar controversy back when they first started installing radio's in cars. I think we should ban those as well. Then there are passengers. I can hang up on someone I'm in a fight with. Unless I invest in an injector seat, passengers are a more difficult issue.

How about talking while driving? That will also make you lose focus and just use one hand on the steering unless you are using a hands free kit.

I really know few stories about car accidents caused by texting while while driving! Sp it can be really dangerous. =))

Sorry to dig up on this old post. I think this issue is still relevant to these days. Not until we have strict rules or new technologies in which a person cannot use their phones while walking/driving...but that again is a long shot. It's more of disciplining ourselves to use gadgets.
