yeah. I agree. the court is clearing telling people that if they want privacy they should hold the phone up to their ear or hold it with one hand in front of their face while responding to text messages. we are just the best country.

    I know I'm arguing a completely different issue here than what the article/post is about, but if a call is so important that you can't take it after your drive, then maybe the prudent thing would be to halt the car and take the call without sacrificing your own and others' safety due to the loss in focus.

    I mean personally I agree. I don't like smart phones anyway due to privacy issues but have one for work. Realistically though society has to deal with what the average person is going to do and if the laws don't support the best good (which in this case I would say keeping motor vehicle deaths and injuries to the most minimum possible). I mean if things were based on a personal level I would severly curtail the right to use a motor vehicle but oh boy most folks would not like that.
