Like everyone else, I think I’m a very good driver. I have a great record, and I have taught hundreds of driver safety classes. However, I do talk on my cell hands-free when I’m driving. It’s legal for now, but check out this video talking about the National Transportation Safety Board’s recommendation for a ban on all cell phone use in motor vehicles: http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/13/9418504-us-calls-for-ban-on-in-car-phone-use-even-with-bluetooth
Could you imagine a complete ban on cell phone use in the car?! That was my initial thought before taking the multitaksing test. It gave me some perspective; I’m not as good at multi-tasking as what I think. No conversation is worth risking my life and the life of others. My New Year’s Resolution (a little late, I know) is to stop talking on my cell in the car!
