Police prepare to enforce new state law aimed to curb distracted driving

The Pennsylvania General Assembly passed Senate Bill 37, which will ban people from using handheld cell phones while driving: www.fox43.com/article/tech/po...

Okay. They tried the same thing in the mid 2000's. You saw police texting while driving pulling over other drivers for doing that same thing.
Then eventually everyone did it and nobody cared.

It hasn't worked anywhere else, so why should it work in Pennsylvania?

Selective enforcement

And yet infotainment systems got you hitting buttons all the time

[@tbones2583]

Yeah, thats honestly just as bad. My car allows me to browse youtube music playlists while driving down the freeway. If it detects im swerving it will give me a 10 second "safety pause" but then I can keep scrolling. I can use it hands free and I do but its a feature that shouldnt be allowed.

@@tbones2583 right!? Even for climate control. You gotta go thru multiple button presses.

[@joepauly2311]

It's a start, but useless unless it's enforced.
Not go after the bigger problem...tailgaters. 2 second rule.

I've used a Bluetooth headset for over 10 years. There's really no excuse for using a handheld cellphone.

Thank goodness I can still eat a pizza, read a magazine and drink a coke while driving, just don't take a call.
