That's why they're banning cell phones.. so distracted onlookers don't get in accidents.

So, next they ban women walking down the street in halter tops & shorts?

It's not that difficult once you get used to it. Preferably, though, at first, you want something with wheat as that will absorb some milk and make it easier. After a while though, you get so good you can have anything you like. I always keep like 4-5 boxes of different kind of cereal in my car, you know so I have something for every mood.

It's a great system. Shaves like 20 minutes off my morning routine.

Then, I can read my paper while in traffic on Decarie.

I saw a guy nearly take out the car in front of me at a major intersection once. He was in a right-turn only lane and continued (well over the speed limit) through the intersection going straight. Not a oh-crap-I'm-in-the-wrong-lane-maybe-I-can-sneak-in-here kind of straight; I don't think he even realized he was in a turn lane. I don't think he realized he nearly hit someone either. If it had been earlier in the day there would almost certainly have been pedestrians around.

But I guess it's hard to pay attention to things like what lane you're in and how fast you're going when you're busy using your electric razor.

The world would be a much safer, and sadder, place.

Electric razors irritate the skin. You show up at a meeting feeling kinda rashy. Not cool.

I keep a bucket of warm water in there and use my trusted handheld Quatro. It's got a jet plane on the adds. Those are cool.

Shaves 6 minutes off my morning routine. It's great.

I have never had a cellphone so this law does not effect me whatsoever. However, I have seen numerous times someone on the phone while driving and being an idiot. I find when people are on the phone, they seem a lot more oblivious to what is going on around them and that in turn can lead to accidents. Not to mention slow reaction times, distraction and ignorance.

You have no idea how big a problem cell phone use is in cars.
I really don't think you get teh big picture here. There are many people here and everywhere capable of answering a cell phone saying "whats up, so we meeting over there, cool, peace" but some need to take it to a whole other level of conversation while they drive. Now this is where it gets tricky. If you think you can drive your car and talk on a cell phone at the same time and think you can control your car the same way, WRONG!
As usual a law is put into affect to protect the dumb ****s of our society who can't think for themselves and do something dangerous because there isn't a law saying don't do it

Excuse me? Your joke is baseless and juvenile.

I'm so annoyed with all these measures against tobacco. They should simply ban it. Each year there's one or more laws like that. I'm a smoker and some of these laws are really ridiculous (i.e. smoking cigarette at 10 m or more from public building doors ) By banning it, I would have to stop like many other. End of the problem.
