Mobile Phone Use.

[RainbowSix]

I must admit, I can also discretely turn my hearing aid off as its for my left ear lol

I refuse to answer my works phone when driving unless I'm in a car that it's paired to for handsfree use (never happens) so they will have to wait until I can pull over.

I think you will find that its mostly women who have to look at the passenger whilst talking, its a genetic thing from the hunter gatherer days, men didn't turn there heads whilst they were whispering, waiting for the game they were going to kill, you don't take your eyes off the kill, nowadays it don't take your eyes of the ball.

Retlaw, that is a huge generalisation.(and in my opinion...i know that doesn't count for much...a load of horse feathers......very sexist too)
I have given up driving, but when I did drive I could talk without looking at who I was talking to.
My husband used to tell me that I concentrated too much when I was driving.
That was rubbish too. When you are driving you owe it to yourself and your family to not use your car as a lethal weapon...you should take all measures to ensure your safety and that of other road users and pedestrians.......anything less than this is criminal.

I see it both ways round and have never noticed men or women worse at it.
