I do not like these things.

Yeah, pretty much. At least the person I'm talking to can hear me. Last headset I had, I could scream into it at the top of my lungs and still not have the other person hear me.

Just like how drugs wouldn't be a problem if they were legal? You really must be POI because only a dumbass like him would chastise me for using my phone in the car while at the same time supporting complete legalization of illegal narcotics.

Also, it is different from talking to a person next to you because it blocks off part of your peripheral vision and occupies one of your hands, giving you less control over the steering wheel.

My peripheral vision isn't affected when I'm on the phone because my eyes are in the front on my skull, not inside my ears. I also have no problem maintaining control over my car with one hand because that's the way I was taught to drive since I was 10. I can swing the wheel in multiple circles in either direction with one hand quite easily.

Unless you're one of those people who drives with your head kinked over your shoulder to hold the phone, which is even more stupid and dangerous.

See above response.

Like I said, some people can drive smashed off their asses on 8 different kinds of pixie dust and a liter of goldschlager and get by just fine.

Good for them. Does that mean a majority of people should go to jail for driving sober because one person drove drunk, then?

Does not mean everyone can, does not mean a majority of people can, does not mean that it's a good idea for you even if you can do it.

So I guess it's a bad idea for me to do things like math because not everybody can? Maybe I should go everywhere in a wheelchair because not everyone can walk?

And saying "Pshh it's easy, I do it all the time, fuckin' cavemen yadda yadda" does not at all disprove any peer reviewed study that yields findings to the contrary.

Unlike you, my mouth, eyes, and hands function independent of each other. For example, I'm typing this response to you while watching Law & Order and having a conversation with my sister about how silly your logic behind statements like "drugs wouldn't be a problem if they were legal" is.

FYI, I never took part in any of these so-called studies, so none of them reflect me or my driving abilities. I represent me, not any "majority".
