New Cell Phone Law

[Ron61]

Joe,

That sounds about like the phone companies were back in the stone age when I was working for them. If you have something that is working well, replace it with a dish or transmitter that has more gadgets and may work 50% of the time. Dam, what ever happened to KISS. Now they can't even leave the regular e-mail programs alone. As soon as one starts to work, they come out with a new one that has flowers and junk you can put in them and it takes years to get them to work. That is why I told them to change me back to my old program or I would find another provider as I am sick of the continual improved e-mail programs that won't work. If it works, leave it alone in a case like this.

Some years back the Sheriff in Daytona placed signs on I-95 that said "drug checkpoint ahead", then pulled over all the cars making illegal U-turns...

Somewhere along the line a judge shut it down as endangerment as a couple accidents occured from the U-turns.

Not to mention the court was probably not happy with the flood of people getting dragged in for a couple roaches in the ashtray. I don't recall it ever resulting in any major trafficing busts.

Anybody noticed the price of diesel? Its almost $1 higher than regular gas. That does it for me... no powerstroke in my cobra.

The law was just changed here a few weeks ago so now only hands free cell phones can be used while driving. I actually liked using the hands free setup that came with my phone. It is certainly a lot easier to answer incoming calls.

It appears that most of the population either didn't hear that the law was changed or else they are waiting until they get a ticket before they stop using their cell phones while driving.

Wayne,

Even with hands free how do you text message and keep your eyes on the road? I see people looking down in their laps and then they will lift the phone up. Maybe a voice controlled phone that you just tell it what you want sent and to whom and it will do it.
