Why I'm a better driver when I'm on the phone

A couple things: I know you're yelling at me right now.  Sounds something like you can't be a better driver if you.....blah blah blah.  So...
1. SHUT UP.  Hear me out.  Then you can rant at me...in the comments...which I moderate (muahahahaha).  
2. By on the phone, I mean either bluetooth or with my fancy iPhone headphones.  I DO NOT MEAN HOLDING THE PHONE TO MY FACE.  And I do NOT text and drive.  

OK.  So here's my argument.  Sometimes I can get in a hurry to go to or from places, and so my speed tends to go up.  But if I'm on my headphones chatting away, I'm less likely to notice that I'm going the speed limit behind another car.  I'm also less likely to weave in and out of traffic.

Maybe it's not the end of the world if only 90% of my focus is on driving.  I'll admit to being capable of aggressive driving.  And I'm easily annoyed by "stupid" people "in my way".  

Maybe I'm wrong.  I don't know.  All I do know is I'm a calmer driver when I'm a)on the phone or b)listening to Christmas music.  Imagine my calm state doing both :o

And as for the comment moderation, I really only moderate for spam and appropriate content/language.  So opinion away.  Even if I disagree, keep it clean and I'll post it.

Until next time,
:)
