That's where good judgement is supposed to come into play. When you
look at the Caller*ID and see it's your boss or your customer or
anyone else not trained to let you drive safely, you either let the
call go to voice mail (preferable) or you answer just long enough to
say "I'm driving; I'll call you right back after I find a safe spot to
pull over."
Which is exactly what I do. My wife doesn't want to cause me to have a wreck so
if I tell her I'm in traffic or something, she'll tell me to call back when it's
safe to do so.
I understand that driving is a privilege granted by the state and the state can
put whatever limitations it wants on said privilege, including requiring seat
belt usage or a minimum age or amount of driver's training. I just don't happen
to agree with the limitation involving cell phones.
It's just another example of "lowest common demonimator" government. Because a
few people have problems we have to cater to them at the expense of everyone
else.
