But also seem to remember a time when I'd have to find a phone booth to make a call. Now can't even seem to find a phone booth any more.

The news also stated that some insurance companies were thinking of make it a way out of paying a claim for them. Having you sign a waiver as part of your coverage! That if a mobile device was in use at the time of accident they are then absolved of all liability.

Ah, a market solution. That way those injured by a cell phone user/driver get a double whammy. They get hurt, but they get no relief from the driver's insurance.
