Driving and Cell Phones don’t mix
Weather is treacherous here because of freezing temperatures. Roads are very icy and it is very difficult to drive in these conditions even though I have 4 wheel drives. There are drivers like me who are quite careful when I drive in such conditions. On the other hand there are drivers who drive as if they are beyond par than anybody else. These drivers not only increase their chances to meet with an accident but also increase the blood pressure of guys like me.
Today I saw a guy driving with a cell phone in one hand and cigarette in the other. I am not sure how he was steering the vehicle. Personally I would like to see Cell phones banned during driving especially in highways and freeways. With an allowed speed limit of 70 mph here in Michigan even a small mistake could be fatal. I have heard about this law being implemented in other states. But this is really needed for all states which go through harsh and snowy winter.
What do you think?

I'm on of those drivers that use a cellphone when I drive but I try to be courteous to other drivers and do not stay in there way. There is another reason for getting out of their way - I also do not like my BP to go up because someone else is impatient. In winter, I just put my cellphone away when there are bad conditions because I prefer to use both my hands for better control.
