That is a hard one to judge accurately because we really have no idea how
many people are packing cell phones. You would not likely know that I have
one, because it is rarely turned on, I don't use it while driving and I
don't use it around other people. If I need to make a call I slip outside
to do so. I am sure there are lots of others who do the same. Then there
are those who think they are too important to turn theirs off or like to
think they look important with them. And then there are those idiotic
chatterboxes who can't exist without a phone glued to their ears.
