> I read in the paper that the Tennessee General Assembly(aka Legislature) is considering a bill that would make it illegal for people under 18 to use a cell phone while driving. Why limit it to people who are under 18? Could it be that the members of the General Assembly are all over 18? There's no denying that cell phones distract drivers. It's bad enough if you have an automatic transmission, but it you are driving a manual shift, it's suicidal. Simple math: one hand for the steering wheel, one for the phone, one for the gearshift, won't add up.

I'm assuming it's because drivers under 18 don't have enough experience behind the wheel. Although I don't think you could ever gain enough experience to allow yourself to get distracted.
