This proposal would also ban listening to iPods and even hands-free cell phone use.
if any states pass bills like this, I will flagrantly and commonly violate the law.
Period.
I will listen to my music. And I will use my phone hands-free. Never handheld, but hands-free.
Yeah, why don’t they make it against the law to exceed the speed limit? I saw a headline on the NTSB recommendation saying people want to stay connected, “... even at 70 mph”. 70 ? HAH! ( That’s a Gene Wilder “HAH!” ) Well I do try to keep it down to 70 in the 55 zones on the Chicago area interstates. This puts me in the lower middle of the velocity spectrum. When the limit goes to 70 down on I-65 in Indiana, this is interpreted by most to mean, “as fast as you please”. They do seem to pull over people once in a while for 80+, but its really hard to say that the speed limit is “enforced”.
So now, I have “manufacturer installed” bluetooth in my 2011 model year car. Maybe I’ll have to learn to talk with my mouth closed. I have to recall the words of David Hilbert, “Nobody can ever evict us from this paradise that Cantor has created for us.”
