That seems to be the latest dumb driving move...In my experience (I drive a truck 6+ hours a day in my job) it's young women/girls talking on their cell phones while driving (it is illegal here in NYS but not enforced) and not signaling turns...I try not to be sexist, but I have seen very few men talking & driving with one hand...

But the FedEx driver here (a women) is *always* on her cell phone...presumably to her terminal/dispatcher, but it is still illegal...and dangerous...

Besides not signaling, one-handed driving causes drivers to clip their corners when turning at intersections...I've nearly been sideswiped by more cell talkers than I can count...

I have a cellphone that I usually carry in my lunchbox...No call is that important that I need to answer it immediately...
