But it *is* different.

The person at the other end is not tuned into your driving situation and there
is an expectation that you will keep up your end of the conversation no matter
what. There's also the matter of dialing the thing.

I'm not amont those that thinks any kind of ban will work - but there's not
question in my mind that a cellphone conversation is very different from a
conversation with somebody in the vehicle - or even a CB radio conversation.
