Clearly she didn't. Her driving was impaired by being on the phone, regardless of whether she became hysterical or not, but she failed to pull over until after she became hysterical. Fun fact: talking on the cell phone while driving is just as dangerous as driving drunk.

you're stupid.

#347 - I don't buy that. In what regard does driving on a cell phone impair one's ability to drive? I drive with one hand on the wheel at a time frequently even when not on a cell phone, and I find talking on one to be much less distracting to talking to someone in the passenger seat...or, worse, in the back seat.

Here you go, 266 pages that will say it better than I can: http://documents.nytimes.com/documents-from-the-u-s-department-of-transportation-s-national-highway-traffic-safety-administration Think about it, though: Talking on a cell phone requires concentration. It's harder to hear/understand the person on the other end of a cell phone than the passenger, so that's a significant amount of concentration right there. Plus, the person on the other end of the phone won't know to shut up because a semi is headed straight for you and need to concentrate on the road, while a passenger surely will. Seriously, though, read the link.

The first several pages didn't address the issue at all, and the text on the pages after that were too small for me to read. It's not always harder to understand the other party in a cell phone conversation - in fact, I have a much harder time understanding my wife when she's in the passenger seat than I do anyone on a cell phone. She has a quiet, soft voice that doesn't carry - which isn't as big a problem when she's talking into a microphone inches from her mouth - and even when sitting in the passenger seat likes to rely heavily on body language and gestures, no matter how much I tell her not to. I'll guarantee you that if I'm about to be hit by a semi, I'm not even going to notice that the other person is talking, my attention will be on the semi.
