NO MORE TALKIE WHILE DRIVEY

JUNE 18, 2009

If you're guilty of using your cell phone while driving, check it out! Even if you think you're doing the right thing by going hands-free...


Police chiefs in British Columbia want our province to ban drivers from using cell phones and hands-free devices while behind the wheel. The president of the BC association of Chiefs of Police, Bill McKinnon (from Kelowna), says research shows cell phone use only leaves half of a driver's attention on the road and that includes speaker phones and headsets.

OK, I understand holding the cell phone should be banned, and texting OBVIOUSLY... but hands-free? Is that going a little far? Should we be banned from talking to our passengers too, then? What about listening to the radio or music? More importantly... SUN FM! I predict a lot of tickets in my future...
