You asked for it so she did it. "Daddy, can I talk on the phone while I drive?" I have to be honest, she is a mini-me. I love to talk on the phone while I drive. I have talked with a few people that say, just a minute let me pull over so I can talk with you. I respect them and don't continue the conversation until they are ready. I know some states it is illegal to talk on the phone and drive. Still other states require a hands free head set. Now I prefer to use my headset so I can focus a little more on driving and not have the neck ache. What are your driving habits? So if you see her on the streets of Grand Rapids delivering the door hangers or listing packages watch out. Smile Today!!!

I pull over, not just because it is illegal here, but because I know using my cell phone interferes with my driving. I can feel it.

Oh Ethan, Ethan... first of all that little girl is adorable, is that a stock photo or your daughter?

Now I live in NY which has the hands free law and I understand why. When i lived in Cali many years ago I used to get upset with the ladies who would apply make-up while driving or the guy reading his morning paper. Now it's the PDA's, cell phones, mobile internet and other distractions. I can't imagine how the freeways there are now.

Please do me a favor. If you're driving and the call isn't time sensitive, wait till you reach your destination. It is proven that multi-tasking while driving decreases your reaction time and you have a beautiful daughter that you need to stay safe for. Isn't she worth it?

Tom-Thanks

Rosario-There is a difference between driving in different cities so I understand

Sharon-If I lived in NYC, I would not talk on the phone while driving. My daughter is worth living for, so that is why I got a hands free headset.

I posted on this awhile back. I put a sticky piece of velcro on the back of my blackberry and the other half on the dashboard of my car. Now when I get in the car I slap my phone on the dash and put it on speaker when I answer. It's like talking to anyone sitting shotgun. Of course, I probably look like a lunatic to others who see me driving down the road speaking to the air!

I see no difference in this and talking to someone else in the car.

Ethan! another beautiful photo of your girl! I love the way you tied this one in! I like using my bluetooth when driving although so many times it sounds like I am in a tin can and I ditch it!
