Driving with cell phones

I don't disagree that there are all sorts of distracting things in a car that don't involve the safest possible driving, but are we going to outlaw CD players? It's just dumb to choose one thing over another just because it is the newest thing (and especially since it has gotten MUCH safe as of late).

I don't know if I would be considered a "good" driver. I've had 2 tickets in 34 years of driving (both speeding). I certainly am a "bold" driver, but I also can assess situations VERY quickly which has worked in my favor. And, despite being "surprised" by pedestrians and bike riders who seem to think they can walk or ride anywhere on (and off) the road in my lovely city, I haven't hit anyone yet. Yet.
