I don't give a crap how well anyone multitasks. Using the cell, putting on makeup, eating, reading, etc should be against the law while operating a moving vehicle.

Texting while driving should be illegal. But talking on the phone? I mean, seriously, if I can smoke while driving or drink a pop while driving, why can't I talk while driving? It's not something I like to do, and I keep the conversations short, but it's not like I take my eyes off the road to look at my iPhone while I'm talking on it. Not my fault that there are people out there who shouldn't be allowed to walk and talk on a phone that have licenses. And I can guarantee you that a pleasant conversation with somebody on the phone is far less distracting than an unpleasant one with the wife if she's pissing me off.
As for motorcycles, it's been said several times here, anytime somebody rides one he's putting his life at risk, especially riding without a ****ing helmet, and bears a certain amount of responsibility for anything that happens on that basis alone. Best rider in the world can't account for some moron suddenly crossing a lane into him, and there is just no protection.
If this guy had been in a car, he'd be sore and talking to a claims adjuster. That's just the way it is.
