California bans driving while holding a cell phone - THIS IS BULL****
http://www.knx1070.com/pages/83763.p...ntentId=206095 Governor Schwarzenegger Signs Cell Phone Law Megan Braziel Reporting - Posted: Friday, 15 September 2006 4:05PM KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO OAKLAND, CA (AP) -- Governor Schwarzenegger singed a bill Friday that will make it illegal to hold a cell phone while driving. The new law will require drivers to use headsets or speakers to talk while in the car. Motorists could be fined up to $50 when the new bill will take effect July 1, 2008. (snip) ========================== I'm all for cracking down on phone drivers but this won't do any good 1. You can still phone-drive as long as it's on a hands-free phone 2. The penalty is a measly $50 3. The law doesn't take effect for TWO YEARS!!!!!!!! |

It probably should be higher to have a true deterent effect. Graham |

There HAS been research done on this sort of stuff - and cell phones are apparently MORE distracting than traffic, the oldies station or even screaming kids. Too much of the brain gets drawn into the conversation, drivers are half there, half with the person on the other end of the connection. ALL non-emergency telephone use by drivers should be banned. We could re-fit some of those automatic speed cameras to detect cell-band transmissions and snap a photo. If we can see the driver fooling with a phone - instant ticket. >> 2.

Put the gun to the gas tank of cell phone driver's car, "Go ahead, make my day!" -- Loco Laura Bush murdered her boyfriend foams like a Bartlo (and spelling or gramatical errors are left as is): "Hey - necromancer is a criminal coddler. BTW the article says 4X and then it says the BAC was .187 which doesn't make much sense. Not that it matters. Drunk drivers who kill should get life wo parole."

People get killed that way,the wrong people. At least if you shoot into the auto body,the bullets have a better chance of stopping instead of exiting. B-) -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

No, the real problem this doesn't address is people watching DVDs while driving. I mean, you just can't imagine what kind of problems that causes...especially when they're watching "Team America World Police" and trying to drive at the same time - that's a recipe for disaster for sure. And don't get me started on people who shower while driving... |

B-) It would take more than a handgun to go through a steel-bodied car. I guess that means anyone driving a plactic/fiberglass-bodied car should be very careful to not talk on a cellphone while driving, huh? -- Bill Funk replace "g" with "a" |
