Cell phone usage

I'm not a big fan of cell phones and don't think people should be using them while driving. I was reminded of this again yesterday while driving into St. Paul from the south on I-35E. There's some construction on the bridge over the Mississippi River and the freeway's reduced to one lane of traffic for awhile. Just before being constricted to one lane, a red pickup pulled in ahead of me. The woman driving was apparently one of those people who can only talk with their hands. She had her cell phone pressed firmly to her ear with her right hand, and was gesturing wildly with her left hand, only occasionally bringing it into contact with her steering wheel. In this restrictive construction zone area, she kept swinging out of the lane on one side, then the other. Sheesh.
