Don't talk and drive

So apparently Saskatchewan police aren’t the only ones looking out for people’s cell phone use while they drive.
I was in a car with the pair that had been assigned to help me track down my press credentials.
The driver, Charles, was on the phone, but he was doing a fabulous job driving in the jammed Juba streets, so I wasn’t so worried about it.
Suddenly he started talking louder, so I looked over at him and realized he was holding the phone in his lap.
I looked around to see that we were driving past some police officers directing traffic.
They don’t like it, he said as he skilfully turned the phone off and slid it into the glove box.
So it’s not illegal, but it seems better to not do things the police don’t like.
