But to more important matters....

When is it going to made law that it is illegal to use a mobile phone in the USA whilst driving? Something that over here in the UK has been illegal for some time.

(V): It's coming.

Handheld Cell Phone Bans for All Drivers: 6 states
(California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Washington),
the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands prohibit all drivers from talking on handheld cell phones while driving.
- With the exception of Washington State, these laws are all primary enforcement—an officer may ticket a driver for using a handheld cell phone while driving without any other traffic offense taking place.

Subject: Re: Cell Phones

Artful Dodger: it has been law in australia for years as well and what do you see everyday??? people using phones while driving...
The hardest thing to do in heavy traffic is to pull over to answer a phone and it has been found that less than 2% of people use their phone (hand -held) while driving.

I'm surprised at the 2% as you see it happening all the time....young girls seem to be the worst, with tradies a good second.
