    Bob Love writes a weekly column in the Spokane Wa Spokesmanreview newspaper   
   on the subject of driving.  This weeks was titled "another take on distraction"   
   A couple of quotes from the article:   
      
   Sen. Jay Rockerfeller, Chairman of the Senate Commerce committee is charged   
   with making and monitoring federal laws to keep the roads safe recently voiced   
   some interesting takes on the topic as did Gabe Neslon, Automotieve News   
   writer .   
   "Yet many still die on the roads, as Nelson put it "because we won't stop   
   looking down from the road to check messages and play with the high tech   
   gizmos built into cars""   
      
   Just this month Rockerfeller spoke to spokie to business executives from GM,   
   Toyota, Apple, Google, AT&T and Verison on Capital Hill warning them to do a   
   better job of curbing distracted driving or Congres will act.  For example   
   Congress, fia the    
   National Traffic Highwy Safety Administration could require CP makers to   
   render them inactive while vehicles are in motion or order manufacturers to   
   limit disstacting technology in cars and trucks.   
      
   Rockerfeller said, "Know me to very unhappy, very nervouse.  Not just about   
   deaths but about close to death injuries - all for the sake of outdoing each   
   other and making more money" (referring to manufactures outdoing others by   
   including every more    
   gizmos)

   Disabling  the phones and other electronic media in motion is in the wind and   
   it will come since drivers will not curb their use while driving.
