DANGER - Don't Knit and Drive

Yesterday I saw a woman knitting while driving. Well, actually I only saw her doing it at a light. But if I can't text at a light, she shouldn't be able to knit - right? I mean really, aren't knitting needles inherently more dangerous then a cell phone? I have never heard of someone in a car accident being impaled on a cell phone - but it could totally happen with knitting needles.
