Would you please make a show on the 'using cell phone while driving'? On daily basis and alomost in every few minutes I see one person driving while on the phone and as a result it causes man problem like 'drive slow on a fastrer lane, don't pay attention who is behind or next lane, drive way under the speed limit on a single lane road like cornell road from skyline to NW portland. It gets worst when people take left turn while other hand is busy holding phone set. other day i saw that one woman was almost hitting another car who was turning left fronm the opposite side because she failed to control steering with hand. Another worst situation i have seen in the super market parking lot. The young woman was in a super hurry, got in the car and started backing off while she was on the phone holding the set in her right hand. Obviously she didn't look carefully and hit a car who was right behind her and that car just got off the parking spot. i am sure every bosy see this type of things every day in every where. Like some other cities, we don't have any 'hands free phone' law obviously people are getting very comfy.
