Cell Phones While Driving

I'm working on breaking the cell phone habit in the car.  Coming off the mesa, we have miles and miles of straight roads and it's tempting chat with family and friends.  It wasn't that long ago that I didn't have a cell phone at all, actually none of us did,so there were decades of driving without a phone - not so bad.  Then it took another nine years to get decent cell service in this neck of the woods, make that desert.  So I know it won't take much to break the talking habit, just more pulling off the road - very doable.

What does feel completely nuts is texting while driving.  I'm with Oprah on this: Don't Text and Drive

I hope you will consider breaking the texting while driving habit and after taking that step, go for the whole deal and get off the phone while driving!  I'm going to make the commitment.  It's not illegal in Arizona yet, but hopefully it's coming.  It's here in print now, so here I go.
I hope you'll try too.
