If history is a guide, I’ll hear from a goodly number of people about this story from Saturday’s paper which talks about cell phones and driving. From the story:

Yes, driving while talking on a mobile phone is dangerous, said respondents to an Elon University Poll released Friday.

And yes, they said, using a hands-free device might make things safer.

But no, a majority of those polled who use a cell phone while driving don't use a headset or speakerphone.

I’ve written and blogged about bills that would restrict mobile phone use while driving before:
