This is just the excuse I needed to get rid of my cell phone. It just sits in my car in case of an emergency and I never use it otherwise. Since I can no longer use it when I break down or in bad traffic, it is not worth keeping it.
I wish this would come to Minnesota. On my way to work yesterday morning I was almost t-boned by a woman on a cell phone who ran a red light. And afterwards she was mad at me!
If you have a breakdown you're no longer in motion and so you can legally use the phone while sitting in your car in Washington, without any Bluetooth headset accessory. But...I see that you're in Wyoming....is a similar ban about to be implemented there?
At any rate, I would urge consideration of a different cellphone plan if your interest is in having it 'only' for emergency use. I bought a 'pay as you go' cellphone for Momma Stoat just so that she will always have one in the car. If it's not used, the monthly charge works out to around $7.....a very small price to pay for the peace of mind knowing that she will be able to call for help if necessary.
