Anyone who _really needs_ to use the phone, gps play toy, etc.       can pull over and stop. Passengers can request the driver do so.                     > rendering a phone inactive because the vehicle is in motion is stupid,              Says a guy who sees nothing wrong with playing with electronic toys while he's       supposed to be paying attention to the road.                     > especially since there are a lot of very useful apps that help make for       > safer driving, including gps navigation apps and many more.              I refer you to PAYING ATTENTION TO DRIVING and stopping if you want to use       your toys.              Harry K              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
