Not really. I just don't think anyone *needs* to be talking on the
phone while driving, regardless of method. (BTW, I did NOT bring up that
bags in trees thing, that's totally on Gary again.) As for the radio
not saying Hello hello... I was saying I don't find the radio
distracting. A radio is just background noise, not someone trying to
*talk* to me.

I just have to wonder (about anyone) what's so urgent that the phone
call can't wait.

If I know someone is calling me from their car I ask them to call me
when they get home. It's just how I feel about it. Phones and driving
don't mix.
