Typical gvt nannyism. Recent studies that were PROPERLY done, which
is a rarity, show cell phone use is no worse a distraction then any
number of other things people regularly do while they are driving. If
our stupid gvt wanted to be consistent it should outlaw doing ANYTHING
while driving, no listening to the radio, no eating, no brushing your
teeth, no looking at maps, and of course, it would mean that for the
POLICE they would not be able to use their radio or computer while
driving - if they needed to use either they would pull over and stop
first.

But we know the hypocrite ****heads in power will never see the
hypocrisy of having cops routinely violating the same law they would
be pulling people over for. Kinda like speeding, it's a terrible
thing, unless a cop does it of course. Or shooting someone in the
back, if a citizen does it they are screwed, if a cop does it who the
hell cares.
