>In this case, however, it's pretty clear (at least to me) that this is a dangerous activity. If talking on the phone while driving only put the driver at risk then I wouldn't support it. But, just as with DUI laws, the idiot takes out innocents with him/her. I don't see it as "Big Brother" at all.

My question on the hands-free laws is why we need them. I agree that many people are a danger when using their phones while driving, but we have reckless driving laws everywhere (I think). Why not just apply those? That way, those who can competently handle a phone and a steering wheel can do so, while the others get tickets.


>Parentheticly, I worry about the in-vehicle Navigation screens. I don't have any experience with them, but I worry about the ability to concentrate on the road while trying to follow one of them.

The good ones have voice commands, so you can just glance at the map, but mostly take the directions it gives you.
