    To use a handset while driving. I’ve been ticketed myself. And yet the number of accidents caused by inattention, even by those using earbuds or speaker phones, has not dropped significantly. They would have to outlaw phones of any kind in cars in order to do that. Having said that, it’s different to tool around in a subcompact on the phone than to pilot a massive rig. I would support legislation to force commercial truck drivers to pull to the side of the road to take or make phone calls. I live not far from the site of a horrendous big rig accident last year that killed several people.

    I work with a lot of truck drivers, (18 wheelers), and most of them do not use bluetooth or corded devices. Just about everyday I see them hazardly driving around just trying to stay between the dotted lines. Any advise? I am totally against losing another right in this spy-ridden USA, but this is one that needs immediate attention. Use a cord or bluetooth. Ever hear of donating old phones? How about a program that refurbs phone ear cords & bluetooths!!!
