This is just my opinion so it's probably worth what you paid for it.  Florida is the worst place in the US to ride anything with two
wheels.  Cagers are aggressive not only against bikes but even bicycles.  I don't know if it's snow birds or locals but a fair
number of them just love to wait at a side street until the last moment and then pull right out in front of you.  I have a high beam
flash button on the left bar (don't know if this is unique or common) and I use it whenever I spot a cager on a side street.

It seems to me that the biggest problem with cell phones is when an incoming call rings.  The driver is suddenly distracted, looking
for the little "Yes" button or whatever.  I suspect *talking* on the cell isn't any more dangerous than talking to a passenger.

You've got that right.  :(
