Driving While On A Cell Phone

I believe driving while on a cell phone attached to one's ear is like driving the car with a bomb in it. I have seen strangers as well as family, answer and talk w/the phone driving all over the road including heading toward the shoulder and the oncoming lane. I do have a cell phone; however, it is rarely used as it is for emergencies only. If someone wants to talk w/me, they can call me at home. So many people seem to have gotten the idea that chatting on a phone while driving is a God given right. In fact, it causes accidents and near accidents and then they want to know what happened. 'Why, I was only talking' they say. People, please stop the selfish 'me attitude' about yourself and start thinking about the others on the road w/you.
