I have seen more people driving around in high end sport cars and the ricer
types using cell phones while driving then I have seen sue-vee drivers..
Even if it wasn't your intent, you just listed all sue-vee and 4x4 drivers
as the group who does this most often..   I have even school bus drivers
using their cell phone while doing their bus runs.  It is not a problem that
is caused by ones choice of vehicle, its a problem caused by bad drivers
period, whether they drive a riced out civic, a $60,000 bmw, a family sedan
or a sue-vee/4x4.
