While it’s getting illegal to use mobile phone — or almost any other portable device for that matter — while driving in many countries/states, some people keep doing so. However, today I don’t want to talk about safety issues, rather I’ll focus on the traffic.
Apparently — and I guess obviously — people who drive and use their mobile phones are slowing down the traffic. According to The The Chicago Tribune, motorists who talk on mobile phones drive slower on the freeway, pass sluggish vehicles less often and take longer to complete their trips.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
