I think if u are a responsible driver to begin with its fine. The problem is when u a. don't know how to drive stick and talk on the phone, b. have something else happening besides driving and talking aka. kids, radio etc. or c. you couldn't drive to begin with.
Both my parents drive and use cell phones, both are great drivers. Alot of my friends suck at driving period, and it takes all their concentration to stay on the road. I don't think its anymore dangerous than switching radio stations or eating while driving....
