My thoughts:
If you're a decent driver, a mobile phone is no more of a distraction than a radio (especially with voice activated dialing)...
It's the idiots that are eating a bowl of cereal, reading the morning paper, dialing their boss to call in late all while trying to switch the radio station because they just hate that new Shakura song...these guys/gals are the ones that shouldn't have a phone, radio, cup holder, or mirror in their car and should have an ignition kill mechanism that turns off the car if both hands aren't on the wheel and their eyes aren't focused on the road.
Whew..can you tell I've had it up to (here) with the morning commuters? So glad I work from home!
