Car accidents

Since 1 January this year in British Columbia is to hear that a massive return to our radio stations in our cars. Our government has a law prohibiting the use of handheld devices while driving. That's right, we now have our own cell phone ban.

But it turns out that all of us in BC actually has one month to get police tickets. I guess one months time limit is set so that we have 30 days to be put into practice the art of driving without the phone.

If you're wondering, the law in BC for handheld devices, not hands-free devices. This means that you can drive and talk, you talk as long as the product is not in your hand.

Do not take this team any. It is easy for officers on site to hand-held use and Rules is a dyr $ 167th Surely a chat while driving is not worth $ 167th If you are a beginner or a learner license, you are really stuck without an IM option. The new law stipulates that both the hands and the hands-free devices are denied you.

Attracted to anything if you do not understand why our government pass a law to consider some statistics on cell phone use and text messaging while driving. The figures are quite staggering, and many, many, many people have been maimed, dead and badly in terrible accidents that distracted drivers cause with his evil cell phones.

In other countries pass similar laws, our BC government has decided to follow the case in autumn 2009, that is if our hand-held device-while-driving law was passed. Our culture of direct communication and interaction will be difficult for the people (I suspect) just let their phones ring voice mail while driving. We want to answer the phone, and we expect the people available.

It seems to me that the timing of the new law is good (although it would prevent car accidents in the past, it is a shame that it took so long) because of the existence of the Internet via the phone. Not only did we talk on our phones, we can almost nothing about our digital phones.
