really?

The ban on handheld devices is finally being put into place today. I can't help but think, really? First of all, I think it's long overdue. I don't spend a lot of time on the highway, but there's usually come across at least one cellphone user per trip. You can spot them from their sudden drop in speed accompanied by the ocassional swerving. Now, I'm usually on the highway during weekends, when there's fewer people on the roads. So, I can only imagine (with horror) at the amount of people doing this on a weekday, during rush hour. When you're going over 100km/hr, is this really a wise thing to do? There are enough people with poor driving skills already, do we need to add another challenge on top? If you want to put your life in danger, do it in your own driveway, not when I'm driving behind you. I don't understand why this is such a major news story. For me, it just seems like common sense.
