Completely dangerous or what? Personally I think it should be a law banning hand held cell phone users to drive. We have had too many people die out here because of them.

Oh man, Turbovee! I was going to say the same thing, but was trying to think of "worst" polls as the thread's title mentions.?
No doubt, I think using a cellphone while driving is for the most part a bad idea. I personally have been smashed into by a guy blabbing on the cellphone (he even continued to talk on it while the police were taking our information at the accident site, he literally never got off the phone the entire time. He was speaking Chinese so I have no idea what he was talking about). I have sat at lights (green) wherein people just sit there not noticing the light has changed because they are cellphoning. I have seen people pull out erratically into heavy high speed traffic not even looking because they were cellphoning. I actually do have a cellphone. But when I first got it, I did try it while driving. I found it very cumbersome, especially when dialing those tiny buttons. Never used it in the car again.
All I know, is I remember a good 15 years ago they had cellphones that were speaker phones (no hands) in vehicles. What the heck ever happened to that? With technology the way it is, I see no reason why cellphones haven't been turned "speaker" in cars. It would obviously be much safer.
