Todays article on CNN titled "The truth about driving and talking on the cell"

(link...)

motivated me to share a driving/cell incident I saw during lunch last week. I was stopped at the Blount Ave/Chapman Hwy red light heading north. There was a line of southbound vehicles turning onto Blount Ave. One was a Holston gases truck, probably 5 ton size. As the truck was turning a car turned in front of it and cut it off, from the left hand (non turn lane) southbound lane., into the one lane on Blount. The truck stopped, luckily, and the driver of the offending car, talking on his cell phone, never realized, and never will, what he had done.

In the article above, California believes it will save 300 lives this year with their new legislation.
