Don't forget Marylanders' - As of today it is illegal to use your cell phone while behind the wheel unless you have a hands free device (Bluetooth).

BTW, it is called a "secondary offense". You can not be stopped unless you are also breaking another motor vehicle law. Wanna bet that a cop can't tail you for 20 seconds and NOT find a motor vehicle law you are breaking?

 

yeah, commercial vehicles went into effect last month. that's why whenever you call me,1st you hear cussing, then" wait a minute". then. "crap, keep talking while I turn up the volume". by then, all I hear is dial tone, cause ya'll already hung up.

 

Thats why I got pulled over for going 33 in a 30 when the seatbelt laws come out, betcha in a yr. or 2 they'll do without that part. prob. a good thing. Alot of people can't walk and chew gum at the same time, screwing it up for all of us.

yeah how I was thinking
I talk on the phone write down numbers and drive --multitasking

 

just heard on the news how they're going to get around not pulling for phone. they said when you talk on the phone you swerve, or slow down, and that's reckless driving. go figure

 

yeah waiting on my new phone to show up with blue tooth device

 

We have had this law on the books up here for many years.

 

gonna get 1 that will except text this time? or figgure out how to use it?

 

Charlie, no spell checker on the bluetooth!

 

I've lost count of the number of times I have been in a near miss because the other driver was on a cell phone. My wife wrecked her Excursion (and 2 other cars at the same time) because she was making a call in traffic.

Did you know in Germany most cars don't even have radios or cup holders? Society's definition of driving over there is 100X more serious than our casual approach.

 

hahahaha. good one Bud

 

old phone gets text -just not pictures

 

is the new on going to get pictures? I've got some real dooseys to send you.

 

Isn't that what cruise control is for?

 

hey Jr.... your hands free phone showed up at my house.
