M.A.D.D. Motorcyclists Against Dumb Drivers

Driving Under the Influence of a Cell Phone is as Dangerous as DUI Drunk Driving. The Attentional Mechanism Suggests That The Cell Phone Impaired May be Even More Dangerous to Motorcyclists. All Cell Phone Use While Driving Must Be Outlawed. This is a Declaration of War.

If you like the sound of this and want to read more, go to Motorcyclists Against Dumb Drivers
where Ray Henke has published an article which gathers together in one place substantial evidence showing that cell-phone impaired cagers are at least as dangerous to motorcyclists as drunk drivers. Ray also provides a form letter you can send to your governor and provided the e-mail addresses for all fifty state governors. Be pro-active. You'll also want to check out Bruce-n-Rays Biker Forum

Hang up and drive, asshole!

It's my greatest fear. Some moron or moroni chating on his/her cell phone will change lanes and run over me. These idiots even text while driving. I've seen people reading, putting on makeup, shaving but the cell-phonies are the worst. They should all rot in hell. According to Northwest Cycle News, Washington state has now made it illegal to talk on a hand-held cellphone or text-message while driving. Just fines, of course but it's something. Of course, neither of these laws take effect until 2008 so will be plenty of opportunities for yuppie soccer-moms to run over a few bikers.
