Oh, good. Now people can take pictures of the car wreck they were just in because they were talking on their cell phone.
And send it directly to the insurance company, who because they don't demand to know whether the insuree has a cell phone (hands-free or not), gets to bump up my premium to pay for these asshats' repair and hospital bills.
(And if I were to get out of my car and threateningly approach, for instance, the SUV-driving bimbo who a couple of weeks ago floored the gas pedal to launch her Escalade into the right lane just as I went past, oblivious to my presence because of her goddamn phone, missing me only because I leaped in a split-second movement into the next lane over, purely lucky that there wasn't a car there already-- I would be the one to get arrested.)
The Bay Area seems to be way behind the curve in adopting cell phones-- in the South, from my experience there, every single person has one and is talking on it more often than not. But that's one area in which I'm not particularly interested in this region catching up to the frontrunners.
