Driving Under The Influence...Of a Cell Phone?!

Some U.S. states have banned drivers from chatting on their cell phones while behind the wheel, at least without using headsets. But according to the latest research findings, it may be prudent for local governments to stop people from driving and chatting altogether, given that talking on a mobile phone and driving at the same time is as dangerous as driving whilst drunk.


I'm just not sure about this. I don't think that talking on a cell phone, is quite the same as being legally intoxicated behind the wheel. Then again, I had a patient last month that dropped their cell phone, and crashed their car. Now that is a different story...
