It would still be better to pull to the side of the road if you are in your car but if you have to answer, you have to answer. The most dangerous folks are those engaged in "ordinary" conversation, just chatting along, as their mind drifts asunder. A couple of minutes of "Ok, system's down ? I'll be there" is no more distracting than changing a CD or lighting a cigarette. Bob
