Default Well hopefully people are *smart* enough not to do that but in general that's not the case

Seeing a guy trying to figure out the idrive in his BMW as he's driving down Yonge Street doing 30km/h and slowing traffic down while he's wandering into the other lane is another problem.

Too many gadgets nowadays, people always on the go and need to get there as fast as possible and multitasking a bunch of things. Our minds aren't wired to multitask to begin with.

Default ...ok, but where do you draw the line?

...is it still ok for me to talk to my wife if she's in the passenger seat? I can still listen to the radio, right?

Default so, if I see a crime in progress, am I allowed to "break the law" to call the police?

or should I expect to get a fine in the mail after doing my moral duty and helping others?

------ I know this is extreme, but it's a fact for some of us who use hands free and see drunk drivers on the highways, or witness suspect behaviour.

I witnessed a guy last Friday night on the 407 driving while drinking a bud light. So under the new law, I potentially could have been punished for calling the OPP.

Default they passed that law in New York about 6 yrs ago...and at first the rates of use seemed to drop

but then they did another survey and saw the rate actually increased in the last 4 years.

Default The only time you can use your cell phone is to report someone using their cell phone while driving!
