cell phones..killing the productivity

[Grits]

If true totals were known, more accidents are caused by cell phones probably than any other distraction, or vehicular movement on the part of the driver.

A lady here, a few days ago, hit a child running across the street to her home. The lady was charged as the child had just stepped off of her school bus, the bus was still stopped, of course; and the lights were blinking and the stop--sign was out. The lady failed to even slow down approaching the bus, much less stop.

She apologized at the site of the accident, "I was on my cell." This is difficult for parents to hear, I'm sure.

And its always good when the cell user drifts into the left lane, when your passing them on the interstate. That's difficult too.

Restaurants can be a big spot, especially at lunchtime, for the cell phone chats, as well.
