In some places we can't talk on our cell phones unless we do it hands-free. There is talk of getting even more restrictive and not allowing cell phone usage at all.
How this is compatible with the 1st amendment isn't clear to me unless it's because until now you could still talk just with an earbud or headset or car transmitter.
They say it's not a dexterity issue but that it's one of focus. OK, remove all radios and CD players from cars - you might accidentally find yourself listening to the music or singing along with it instead of paying 100% attention to driving.
Don't allow any passengers at anytime. Convert all cars to driver-only vehicles. Even a word or a sneeze from a passenger could cause the driver to lose focus.
No daydreaming as a driver or focusing on tasks other than driving. Not sure how that's going to be regulated.
Guess the best solution is to ban cars except limos - but then those drivers would have the same issues.
Detroit is going to love this. They're struggling and now because of someone's desire to make us totally safe on the roadway, the solution seems to be no cars at all.
