According to last night's news broadcast, a law is being considered by all of the States that will outlaw all cell phone use while driving.
Okay, I'm the first one to advocate that law. There will be a fine for talking on the phone. Text messaging will carry a stiff penalty, and I'm all for that too. They should revoke the texter's license til they "grow up." What kiind of idiot endangers his own life and the lives of others while he's punching letters into a phone?
The law will keep us from using our cell phone at anytime while driving. They claim that even though you are a "hands free" cell phone user it is just as dangerous.
I wear a Bluetooth in the car when driving. I use it at home too if I want to do other things with both hands while talking.
When I'm driving and my cell phone rings, I just tap my Bluetooth and answer. If I want to make a call I tap my Bluetooth and hold it for about 3 seconds and use voice command. I never have to touch my cell phone.I'm aware that some of you hate the looks of a Bluetooth but it is a very useful appliance and keeps me from having to hold my phone, or search around for it when it rings as I'm driving.
Now my question is: If I'm not using my hands, but just talking, how can that be any different than talking to someone in the passenger seat? When I go out with my friends we usually take turns driving and I often have 4 other people in the car with me. We're all talking so what's the difference?
Am I missing something?
