I saw a clip from one of the authors of Washington State’s Cell Phone Ban. She said it was just the first step. They will be looking into other measures.

Such measures include all cell phone conversation. They cite research that says that just talking on a cell phone interferes with the visual focus required to safely drive a car. This implies that all talking interferes with visual focus. I wonder if listening to the radio is included? That would eliminate Talk Radio from the automobile. Will they install microphone monitors that detect talk. Will these monitors be picked up by police radios?

Banning cell phones is the first step.

Great Britain is using super high-res highway cams that can spot drivers using cellphones or doing a variety of other activities:

Great Britain New super-cameras will mean no hiding place for drivers who smoke, eat or use a phone

Well then just chop down the towers. You can’t use a cell phone without a tower.
