My life is all about being productive. I am a graduate student, I need to respond to my emails RIGHT AWAY and I need to make sure I get things done.
I've never been remotely close to crashing or dying while doing either of the above actions while driving. When texting I don't even look at my phone, I have such a nice feel for the keys that my typing is nearly 95 percent accurate and it gets the message across.
In Alberta, they have tried tabling the Cellphone ban, but I doubt it will pass.
You guys are right, the majority of the population is incapable of driving and calling/texting, but the minority should not suffer because of them.
And in no way am I saying the ban is a bad thing, but the people who support it are labelling the responsible individuals as one of those idiots who don't prioritize properly. Being safe on the road should always be #1, if you have that in mind why can't you communicate with others if you understand it's a secondary priority?
