I would estimate that of those I stop for excessive speeding (20 + mph over the speed limit) over half are on the phone.

I don't know why you can talk to someone in the car with you with no problem but when talking on the phone, some people completely zone out and drive like morons.

I think Myth Buster's did a thing where they did a comparison of drinking drivers and cell phone distracted drivers, the drivers on the phone drove just like those at or near .08 BAC.

I believe it was more like a BAC of .12 there RM. I remember that one and the drivers that were at the legal limit did MUCH better than those on the phone.
