Emergency cell phone ban!!!!!!!!

21,793 3,419 December 13, 2011 at 09:44 AM in News (3) USA TODAY
NTSB has called for a emgergency cell phone ban in cars everywhee. No use at all. I applaud this call. There are so many idiots on the road who can't drive and talk at the same time. The worst are the textings. What we need is the cops to actually enforce the law. These things are already illegal in CA but people still do it all the time.

The two speak to the same issue, probable cause. But that may be too abstract a concept for some people. Not everyone makes it out of concrete thought.

Wow. I'm honored that you would consider me before making even the most trivial decisions in your life. Personally, what you think doesn't even enter into mine.
It's not you, it's the other idiots that think like you do. I like to annoy/piss off people in general. Thumbup

It's called an analogy. Don't worry. You'll learn that world when you get out of kindergarten.
It's a stupid analogy. Two things that aren't even comparable in terms of seriousness.

I think we should ban the cars all together! If everyone took the bus...none of this would ever happen. Everyone can even use their cellphones on the bus. (Except the driver of course).
The bill should be amended to ban all bus drivers from using cellphones while driving the bus.

I gave you Nevada. Even though most of America lives with a secondary law.
Really? You mean like in California too?

"However, the prohibition against using a handheld wireless device while driving is a PRIMARY violation for which a law enforcement officer can pull you over. "

I didn't capitalize the word "primary". The state of CA did.

No police officer will pin probable cause on this. No officer will take the stand in court to answer the questions: "Are you sure the driver was using hands free talking? Could he have been talking singing along to the radio?"

Just like the law: It will never happen.

A little attention is the least I can do for someone who makes he's decisions based on me. Got to throw him a bone now and again.

There's this little thing called phone records. Officer notes the time. Your phone company notes the time of your calls and texts. Done deal.
