Re: Driving with Cell phones

[Daniel Hussey <GY3WSX@VM.SC.EDU>]

      I saw a report on CNN yesterday about this. In fact they were talking to
some Georgia State Trooper while he was driving up and down GA400 poining out
all these morons holding cell phones while driving.  Well, this is very common
in Atlanta where everyone has at least one cell phone!!!!  Seriously!

      I agree that someone driving a with a cell phone will probably have a hig
er chance of having an accident, but 5 times more?  What about us with CD playe
rs?  Ever changed a CD while driving....it is pretty hard!  Also, they said tha
t iti didn't matter whether you had handsfree or not!!!!  I was like, what?!?!
My phone is handsfree and I don't think this is a problem at all.  I can carry
on a conversation while driving on the highway just fine thank you.  And, I don
't need some feds telling me I can't!  I think as long as you have handsfree, y
ou are OK.  I think that is the way the laws go in NY.
