It doesn't take into effect until July 2008...

Great.

I guess this is good if I had my BT headset still, but my parents broke it. Then again I really want a new one anyways.

Edit: It's an inconvenience definitely, but hopefully we'll see safer drivers. I only use my BT headset when In eed to do other things, and it drains battery like a b!tch

But the great news is, you can still text message while driving!


Sometimes I really wonder about the laws we pass...

ahm... "that bans cell phone usage"

How are they going to catch you text-messaging when you're holding the phone beneath your window? This law will encourage text messaging to hide it from police which is more dangerous. This law does nothing but harm society.

This one's easy. They don't bust you for it. Just like a hidden bottle of booze, when (not if) you get in an accident, they'll find the half finished message on your phone once they wipe the gore off.

There are lots of laws they can't really enforce. Did you know driving barefoot is illegal in at least some states? But unless you have a window by your feet, they can't tell. And if you're smart (like me) you have your Birks handy in case you get pulled over.
