driving rain

I was driving in the rain on my cell phone and got myself totally lost. I obeyed all traffic rules, rights of way stopping at stop signs however, I somehow managed to miss a turn or sign. I am not frequently a drive while talking person. I try to use the cell phone only when I am stationary - as I don't have a hands free device. Even still it wasn't that my attention was pulled from the traffic in essence it was that it made me somewhat disregard the larger surrooundings, buildings and identifiers that would have helped me find that lost turn.

I eventually made it to my destination but it made me reconsider my decision to talk and drive - hands free or not. the world can wait - but if you use your cell phone while driving it will wait awhile longer in most cases.
