here in the states, it's hard to find someone on the road who *isn't* 
yakking on a cell phone.

this thursday in nj a new law prohibits talking on the phone
while driving, though they can only ticket you if you've been stopped for some
other reason (excuse).

i wonder if it's any safer playing harp if you're using a rack?  
the original studies here that found driving while talking unsafe 
found no difference between regular or hands-free usage.  
though i question their methodology.

in many parts of the states, driving is synonymous with 
being stuck in a traffic jam.
