People drove for nearly 100 years without cell phones. I have never had a road emergency that required a phone in more than ten years of driving.

People didn't have land lines for 10,000 years prior to that, but they didn't use it for justification not to have telephones when they were invented.
You brought emergency preparedness up, then shoot down your own logic. :dunno

They didn't have cars for 10,000 years. And I never said I don't have a telephone. I don't have a cell phone and I don't need one.

Emergency preparedness is not "I'll call someone if something goes wrong". Emergency preparedness is being able to handle your own emergency in most cases. A good jack, a solid spare, a roadside emergency kit, a couple extra high failure parts, all in a bin in the trunk of the car. Like I said, I've been driving a long time, never had an emergency that required a phone.
Besides, there are 100 other reasons I don't want a cell phone, none of them having to do with a roadside emergency.
