    RW>> Nope. The headset has your fully captured attention while the radio   
    RW>> and CD player can be interupted because there is air space between   
    RW>> your ears and the speakers.   
      
    RN> My concentration is solely on what is going on around me because of   
    RN> the idiocy of some drivers in this area.   
      
   Try telling that to the police officer writing you a ticket for driving   
   with headphones on.   
      
    RN> I was driving to WallyWorld and was behind a woman in an SUV who was   
    RN> on her cell phone the whole time.   
      
   Been there, got the T-shirt. 8^)   
      
    RN> Well, it must have been an important call because she didn't stop   
    RN> talking when she exited her vehicle and made her groceries.  It   
    RN> just so happened that she was shopping for the same things I was and   
    RN> she held that conversation all the way through the checkout and back   
    RN> to her car.  That's just one case in point.   
      
   She's the arc-typical person that has caused state legislators to pass   
   laws prohibiting driving while talking on a cell phone.   
      
    RW>> Unless of course, the volume on the radio or CD player is so high   
    RW>> that they can hear you coming for miles.   
      
    RN> Like a ghetto-blaster?   
      
   Boom box in the trunk! I can hear them coming for miles.   
      
    RN>>> I like to drive with both hands on the wheel.   
      
    RW>>> I like driving, don't care if I use both hands on the wheel or one   
    RW>>> around my babe and one on the wheel.   
      
    RN> Back in my drag racing days, I had both hands across at the top of   
    RN> the wheel when driving down the road.  If I had to make a turn onto   
    RN> another road, the turning hand would force the other out of the way.   
      
   That's why the tell you to use both hands on the wheel, but with them   
   placed at 10 and 2 o'clock. You don't have to let go of the wheel that   
   way.   
      
    RN>> I haven't had a babe in 5-years.  Too bad.  I really liked her.   
      
    RW>> They're nice to have, most of the time. There are other occasions   
    RW>> however.   
      
    RN> Yes.  (-:   
      
   Gotta love um anyway... 8^)
