Summary:

Most of us have made or answered a phone call in the car or even checked an e-mail. We know this is ill-advised, though, and we quickly come to our senses and get both hands back on the wheel. However, I've recently seen more than one person talking on their cell with one hand and sending an e-mail on their Blackberry with the other. I'm going to assume they're driving with their knees, but it could be that they have a caramel mocha latté between their legs and a bagel balanced on their lap that they smear with cream cheese between phone calls. So, maybe they're not steering at all. This frightens and endangers me. I understand that e-mail addiction is a legitimate affliction, so maybe nothing can be done for these people, but hands-free headsets are less than $20, so there's no excuse for not using them.
