Agreed. If they were truly interested in reducing traffic accidents they would ban all cellphone use in vehicles, even handsfree use. Handsfree phone use can still be extremely distracting.
Then I was told by a friend that when you use signals on a freeway that means you are requesting either right or left blocking. I checked the DMV manual and whaddaya know, he is correct! Now I don't use my signals anymore. /s
If it is about “revenue,” then why did it take so long for the legislation?
Heck, it's hard enough to find and answer my cell phone when I'm home, much less driving. If I have to jam some gizzy into my ear at the same time, there goes the one eye and hand I was keeping on the road, not to mention unbuckling the seat belt so I can feel around the beer cans all over the floor and under the rear seat, and WTH would I going to do with my pancake syrup?
It's a good thing I have a sunroof, cause I hear they're ticketing for throwing things out the window.
