I think it goes deeper than the cell phone. It's about accountability. And cars provide a very real buffer between the actions of one selfish idiot and the consequences. Sure, phones are just another distraction, but really, it's the people themselves...selfish, ignorant people.
I often wonder what would happen to these people if they wandered around the grocery store in the same way they drive...walking just inches behind me...cutting in line and flipping me off. They'd get their a$$es handed to them. That's what.
But not in a car. Windows up, radio blasting, yapping on the phone...and not accountable for anything that happens outside.
I see it all the time. Careless cagers, rude people who don't acknowledge you when you hold a door open for them, people who cut in line, leave their trash everywhere. They're just not being held accountable for their actions.
