I think we should ban talking while walking, and the even more dangerous activity, chewing gum while walking.

My father-in-law (who is 85) tells me that there was a similar controversy back when they first started installing radio's in cars. I think we should ban those as well. Then there are passengers. I can hang up on someone I'm in a fight with. Unless I invest in an injector seat, passengers are a more difficult issue.

Dont worry - darwin will take care of things lol

How about talking while driving? That will also make you lose focus and just use one hand on the steering unless you are using a hands free kit.

I really know few stories about car accidents caused by texting while while driving! Sp it can be really dangerous. =))

Sorry to dig up on this old post. I think this issue is still relevant to these days. Not until we have strict rules or new technologies in which a person cannot use their phones while walking/driving...but that again is a long shot. It's more of disciplining ourselves to use gadgets.
