I was on my bike, stopped at a light in town, and needed to turn left. I
turned to see if the driver behind me was paying attention, and she was
talking on a cell phone and kinda looking at the ceiling. That made me very
nervous as I have seen people try to turn left while talking on a cell
phone, and it isn't pretty!
You said, "sometimes people might need to make a call" Jeez--they can pull
over and stop the car to make the call if it's that important! Eating? It's
not the same as talking on the phone and you know it--or maybe you're trying
to be funny. When a person talks on a phone, their mind is occupied because
they are having to make decisions. Eating is just shoveling food into your
mouth.
