Been there, done that. Both sides. Now don't answer or call while driving.

Ditto,but very occasionally,,what stopped me was a near rear end job...That was about three years back,havent done it since,dont even bother to pull over now to answer the call either..
In November last year,it became an offence to drive and use a cell phone in New Zealand..$55 or $60 fine and 10 demerit points,,,it should be a lot more,but I suppose they gotta start somewhere..It has worked,but the fine is too low,and drivers are still out there doing it..
It was prompted by a lot of fatalities,or near fatalities,over a relatively short time.
