While on a cell phone, eating, (using one hand)?

Can, I? Yes. Am I stupid enough to? NO. I ignore my calls and wait until I stop to get a coffee or gas or whatever to call back. I can't understand why anyone thinks its okay. How many people have been killed because of it? If you talk or text while driving you're a goddamned tool. A douche. You're worse than a drunk driver, at least they have the excuse that alcohol impaired their judgment. Stop doing it, you're going to kill some little kid crossing the street, or yourself.

At least I thought I was excellent at it. The policeman that handed me a ticket for being on a cellphone and driving wasn't as impressed.

over excited fools they are, abusing trade with distractions. only back seat drivers are allowed to use the phone, laptop or weapon(including food)in a moving vehicle over any surface

If you do this, please let me know what roads you'll be on so I can take a different route. Sorry folks, but this is idiotic. (Pardon me if I just insulted you, but read on.) There's a huge problem just by itself with talking on a cell phone while driving, let alone also doing something else at the same time. The cell phone problem is not the holding of a phone -- the real danger is the conversation itself, which causes what experts call "inattention blindness." The conversation diverts your attention from what's going around you in traffic, causing accidents. You're 4 times more likely to cause an accident when talking on your phone! Research indicates it's as dangerous as drunk-driving! Fatal crashes involving cell phone-using drivers are disproportionately high for "inattention" and typically involve drivers striking something in front of them or leaving their lane of traffic. Phone-conversing drivers have impaired reactions to vehicles braking in front of them, to crossing pede... Read more

I've driven with my knee while doing 95 MPH before.... (on the autobahn of course) (unless thats illegal then im just kidding)

I can do it, but it's not very safe.

I can do either one, but when using the cell phone, my driving ability goes from one of the best out there down to much below average. Eating isn't much of a problem.

Yep, I don't make a habit out of it, but I do it.

"Can I"? Yeah. But I choose not to if possible. UPDATE:  To emphasize this point, yeah, most people "can" drive while eating/talking on the phone, but to quote Chris Rock:  "You can drive a car with your feet if you want to; it don't mean it's a good !@#$ing idea!"

Good with the cell phone, not so good with the eating. Even with the phone if I get into areas I feel I need to pay closer attention like busy traffic or bad weather, then I hang up.

I have been known to drive one handed sometimes. Once in a great while eating{although i do not think you really should in case of choking} I do not own a cell phone, if i did I would not use one while driving. only maybe if it were an absolute emergency and i could not safely pull over. It really annoys me to see so many people using a cell phone while driving.It is too distracting and dangerous.

i can but i prefer not to just because of the safety factors. i have a friend that will talk on her phone and she cannot do both and its scary and annoying while she does it.

Not legally, here in the Peoples' Republik of New York.

I can't... and also, along with the ban on smoking, I think the no cell phone law is one of the few good things that the state's government has come up with. It is pretty dangerous.
