If for some reason I get a call while driving or have to make one I do it as fast as possible. There is nothing worse then getting behind someone in the fast lane whos rambling on their phone not paying attention to what's going on around them. They do tend to slow way down. Which in turn congests the freeway, which can cause accidents.. etc.. etc... I'm all for banning the use of cell phones when behind the wheel period.. No headset, no hands free.. banning the use period! So I guess I have one and use it regularly just not when driving.
