basswipe--next time you're behind the wheel, hold your empty left hand to your ear for 3 minutes and see if that makes you drive with your head up your ass 
NY has had a hands-free law for years--it was the first state to enact one. I wish I had a buck for everytime I got stuck behind some numbnuts driving 45 in the left lane, wrapped up in his/her hands-free conversation. I wouldn't have had to move out of there in the first place. |

Didn't realize that MA law required one hand on the wheel at all times...guess that means no more practicing on the duck call while driving!   |

I have at least 2 times a week that someone crosses the the center line at me. Cel phones are bad while driving.

Mike if I take my left hand off the wheel for 3 mins for any reason that's 3 mins I'm driving at a disadvantage.Two hands on the wheel simply put is safer than one on the wheel.Period.
As far as being behind some "numbnut" on a handsfree unit going 45mph with both hands on the wheel,I'll take that over some a-hole pulling out into traffic anyday with only one hand on the wheel any %$%$%$%$ing day. |

Spence, I especially like the officers who stand in the middle of an intersection at a construction site talking on the cell phone. They make us look bad.
Oh I said I was going to stay out of this. |
