Not trying to be a troll, just thought I would mention it since it was just recently mentioned to me and I dont think many realize it. Plus, mentioning it might make people more aware of it.

but we must keep in mind this is based on a small number of people, not all of us are the same, and not all of us are willing to get into an in-depth conversation while driving (I'm certainly not), many of us just need to be able to in case theres another errand to run or something quick to be alerted about. We're not all the same...
