No matter what the ulterior motives of the law enforcement agency are, i think drivers need to be more responsible, good or bad roads notwithstanding. If in your line of work you'll lose tons of money by not picking up, then surely you can invest in a handsfree kit.<br />I get the traffic/bad roads aspect, I just don't see why it should be intricately tied to this law... unless this is how the law is constructed.yehnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564356874518161776.post-19669817755168144312011-03-04T07:01:49.251+00:002011-03-04T07:01:49.251+00:00@ Nana Fredua-Agyeman:

And something should be done about it!<br />That being said, I don't see why it's "economically" rubbish to try enforce a don't talk and drive rule! Seriously? people ought to be more responsible! If you need to answer that call, use a hands free kit! Chances are, this call is not about a dying aunt, and you can wait to get home and return that call! And as for those who text and drive?
