It never ceases to amaze me how stupid our political leaders are. The coming ban in Ontario against cell phones is just another example of a knee jerk, political law that has little merit.
I agree cell phones should not be used when driving.
But we have laws against careless driving, reckless driving as well as others; these should be strong enough to do something about the problem, assuming there is a problem at all.
I guess its still okay to read a map while driving, eat while driving, drink while driving, look for that CD under the seat, look for a radio station that plays good music, watch DVD’s, shave, put on make-up, threaten the kids in the back seat while driving, get caught up on books on tape or talk radio. There are tonnes of distractions that hamper our driving abilities, but they’re not cool enough to do anything about. Cell phone bans make it look like our Leaders are doing something, when in fact they again, do nothing.
