Cell Phones

To bad the law isn't world wide...People that use cell phones without a bluetooth device or text while driving should have their licences taken away. Bluetooth devices are so inexpensive now that there is no reason not to use one.

I can think of two reasons, people that have it and don't know how to use it and some phones don't have bluetooth. But I do agree with what you say.

Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

Bluetooth

Thanks for agreeing but if they can't figure out how to use blue-tooth then how in the world can they work a cell phone? There has to be very, very, very few cell phones that don't have blue-tooth anymore. In fact I don't think you could get a cell phone for the last 2-3 years that didn't have it.

Road Dummies

I drive a shuttle for a car dealership and you can tell which idiots are texting.

They're the ones that are weaving back and forth across the center line or the lane markers, at the same time that their head keeps bobbing up and down to read and type.

The police could always charge you for careless or dangerous driving, but were reluctant to hit someone with 6 demerit points and a $100 fine.

There are no demerits but a possible $500 fine. Also easier to prove for the cops.

Took me about a minute to find these 4 phones for sale and none of them have bluetooth:

LG300
LG1500
Samsung 701G
Motorola EM326G

These maybe old models, I have no idea, but you can still easily purchase a cell phone that doesn't have Bluetooth.

I hate to correct you but here is the scoop....
LG300 has Blue-tooth
LG1500 is discontinued
Motorola EM326G has blue-tooth
Samsung 701g is a camcorder...

That is what I was able to find....I didn't say there weren't any but I don't think you can purchase one easily...none that I know of...besides who would want one????

Ban cellphones

There are other infractions worse than this one. you are going to see police enforcing this law just because is the amount of money they are after.

In the future you are going to see people taken photos of police officers talking on the phone and after going to enforce the law they are breaking.

I think this law has exempted some sectors like police.

Gps! ask where to go and get there! Best of all, what we need is to have accurate pois to reach all destinations

The law

Honestly, I laugh at all these people that complain about 'useless' laws like some may view this one to be. However, it seems those same people haven't figured out, that, if you don't self-regulate, the Gov will do it for you.

Laws seem to exist to protect people from the stupid, and self-entitled. Which is why we have so many of them....
