The one time I did it I could actually FEEL my peripheral perception closing down. It's fortunate that I rarely need to use the phone in the car, and when I do I pull over and stop. > Does it recommend keeping conversation with passengers to a minimum also? > When hearing that warning I often wondered why they weren't also included. > They are perhaps more dangerous since folks sometimes glance sideways at > their passenger while talking... I never look at my passenger and it drives me nuts when I see the driver looking at the passenger in movies. Like seeing an open refrigerator door. I don't even like talking while driving -- I've missed far too many turnoffs when I was chatting. Our internal autopilot works entirely too well. -- Cheers, Bev "Many realize that the control of language is power. If you can't speak your mind, your opinions have no weight." --nightfire-unique
