My same old argument. Make the new cars so a cellphone won't work in them with the engine running. People survived well before cell phones came along and were able to actually drive to work or a store without having to be talking on a cell phone. Emergency services could and should be excepted. If the normal driver just has to make a call then let them find a place and pull over to make it.
Also someone mentioned in a previous post that some people have to look at the phone while talking. I have found that to be the case when many are talking to a passenger and we have one cop here who is a friend of mine that I am almost terrified to ride with. He is a great guy but he can't talk to a passenger unless he is looking at them. Two trips to Sacramento and back with him left permanent finger marks in his dash where I was gripping it so tight. So in his case, I doubt a cellphone would really impair his driving. And he is a great guy and I like him.
