Drivers and Cell phones...

[The Bandit]

Please people, get off your f'n cell phones and drive. If it's so important pull over and continue...if it's not, then call them back when you can. I bet you 98% of the calls are unimportant b/s and can wait. Call them back at your next stop.

I was driving in a FUNERAL PROCESSION... light's flashing, flag on my car, etc... and some ASSWHOLE in a Van talking on his cell phone cuts me off!!! WTF????

Can't you stupid SOB's spend $20 and get a wired ear peice or maybe $50 for a Bluetooh? Cheap, stupid SOB's!!!

I was driving down the 401 and this fucker cut me off. I could see that he was on his fucking cell phone. I drove up beside him and noticed it was my buddy Henry. I was going to call him and tell him to get off the phone but then I got another call coming in from my mother asking me to pick up a quarter chicken dinner on my way home. She hung up so quick I didn't get a chance to ask if she wanted fries, rice, or salad. So I had to call her back and by then I didn't notice that I missed my exit on the 401.

So I called up HFH and made an appointment with Cameron. I was told she no longer works there and hasn't been there for some time. I strongly disagreed and we got into a shouting match. By then I found myself in Milton. I final got through to Henry and told him, "stay off the fucking cell phone when driving."

What difference?

when does the new law come into effect?

we have had a law in NYS for years now, and not a day goes by (unless I don't drive anywhere) that I don't see various pinheads driving along and yacking on a cell phone. Even hear some lame-o from time to time whining about getting a ticket for it!

Yup, the law went into use when I lived there. What is the current status, can they pull someone over for a cell phone violation only?

Of course ...

counts toward their quota just the same as a speed trap ticket!

You don't even have to look at the driver...just watch for the car that waits 5 seconds after the light turns green to take off and then drives under the speed limit.

I wish the road had a jamming device--but then some calls are an emergency, like to report a car crashing in to another car stop for a green light, ha ha.
