While I could easily do this, I have issue with only one part: I don't use my cell phone while driving. I'd have to have a passenger do it.

I have made exception to that rule on very few occasions, however, such as when there is a serious emergency, involving an accident, etc, or when traffic is backed up, to call and report problems to the traffic authority. (I'm only barely crawling up the road at this point, and could just as easily ghost-drive.)

In almost all situations, I pull over to answer my phone, if I feel that it's important enough to bother with now, as opposed to 15 minutes from now when I stop.

Once I get a bluetooth headset, I'll probably keep the PSP and county sheriff's office on speed dial though.
