On a personal note whenever I see this exact scenario in traffic(cellphone in hand texting..one hand on wheel) I want to stop my car and throw their phone down the nearest sewer drain.This to me is no different then reading a book, or newspaper while driving.

The correct terminology is "catch basin"

But I get your point.
 
Yes, texting is stupid. But just to hold the phone and talk if U are experienced driver should not cause any harm.
Anyway, they voted against it, question is it still legal or not, in Ontario?
( watch in NY, NJ)
 
This video should be banned as it will help morons dumb enough to eneven think to text while driving to live long enough to reproduce.

The word 'think' above is used very loosely.

As of today it is NOT against the law, but the change is coming in 2010 if I understand correctly.

Thought it was coming into effect as of October 2009?
