    The main issue is going to be how on earth they regulate any of this. in NYC that banned taxi drivers from speaking on cell or head sets while driving. that lasted about a week. not to mention the new interactive dash boards going in to the new cars…. this should have been better thought out before the auto companies where given the green light… all in all a good idea. but next to impossible to enforce..

    With apologies to those who have read this comment from me about 4,000 times- A pre-World War 1 magazine in my collection has an article that says that some mad motorists are going to install wireless sets (radios) in their automobiles. Surely a national bloodbath will ensue if this is allowed. An even earlier edition of the same magazine had an article by a group of clergymen who theorized that frequent rapid travel in a motor car could rip the soul from the human body and the soul may not be able find it’s body and the individual may not be able to get into heaven.

    Texting while driving is ridiculously dangerous. So is turning around in the driver’s seat to swat unruly children in the back seat of a minivan.

    Hands free phones are no more dangerous than a wireless set in the car- Any truly distracted driving should be punished However.
