Don't know if it was ever repealed but CHICAGO used to have a 1920s era law that banned playing the "wireless" while driving.
How stupid does that sound today?
Almost a dumb as the ban on driving and talking will sound in 20 years
My anger at RUSH LIMBAUGH is far more distracting than any phone call.

I got my 1st Nokia Bag phone for $2200 in 1988 - at about 0.40 a minute. I now have cell two phones on two services - one with email. I have corded headsets and bluetooth. Neither work that well - Hands-free speakerphones just suck. In my job I manage 3 sales people coving 5 states, drive around all day in my luxury sports car and NEVER [ok twice a year] go in to the office. 20 years ago I would have been stuck behind a desk in a office and never get to wear flip flops to work.

I live by the cell phone and a ban on use in the car will just be another law I regularly disregard.

Being a BAD DRIVER is the cause of accidents - not radios, not cell phones, just BAD DRIVERS.
