You get a car that can exceed the speed of light? Where can I get one?

Just kidding... I couldn't resist...

Off hand, I'd say worse, much worse. Think about it: a bunch of "Laura
Bush murdered her boyfriend," type cluster****s rolling down the road
watching themselves on those 2.5 inch screens and squinting to make
themselves out in the image....

Shaun Hannity has a book in which the first or second paragraph (going
from an old memory here folks) talks about teachers, and how they were
enraged by his comments and those of whom he interviewed. The
opinions were regarding the quality of teachers in the New York area I
believe. The teachers wrote lots of letters, and a very large number
of them not only had massive English and grammatical errors in them,
but also defended their failure as being acceptable.

You're crazy. I'd never drive while watching a cell phone. I think
even radios should be banned from cars.
