That's why you use some sense and don't snapchat while you are towing.

I can't wait until they make cell phones disabled while moving over 5mph.

I’m really not that big on Bluetooth either. My wife’s Honda CRV is
rigged so the phone comes over the radio. I think that’s better. But
conversations are slurred.


There are plenty of studies that say talking on the phone is almost as
dangerous hands free as it is holding the phone. That is one Harry
can't get mad at me about. I don't have a phone with me 99.99% of the
time. I use about 20 minutes a year.


Going fishing the other day, I stop for a light. Lady next to me actually
gets stopped. In one hand is the phone, other hand a cigarette. We have
had it illegal to hold the phone to use in the car for years. Can not
believe how many still do. And new cars, which you know have Bluetooth
built in.


It actually turns out holding the phone is not the distraction, it is
the conversation itself. Holding the phone is not as much of a
distraction as a cigarette or a cup of coffee. Nobody ever got burned
by a phone falling in their lap.
