Some of those things are notably dangerous. I don't think most of them are an issue if they are short lived e.g. smoking does not take much attention most of the time. Studies have shown that being engaged in a phone conversation is much more distracting than talking with someone in a car. I'll be the first to admit that it's driver specific. Some drivers are challenged just being on the road. >I will continue, just because some people gets so worked up about it. >They just can not stand missing out half the conversation. :-/ Actually, it's the other way around.I don't even want to hear your half. :-) Bob
