UK Motorists Ignore Driving While Yakking Ban
from the what-would-work? dept
Just like in New York, it appears that drivers in the UK are pretty much ignoring the ban on driving while yakking – even though they admit that it makes driving less safe. This shouldn’t be much of surprise – especially since enforcement of the law seems to be lacking. So, here’s a question: what would make people stop driving while yakking (or any other similar distraction)?

What would make people stop driving while yakking (or any other similar distraction)?
Well since new cell phones that are coming out are GPS enabled, how about a mild electric shock given to the user if the phone is in use while in motion? 🙂
engine vibration = no service
A very simple solution would be to add sensor technology to the phones, interrupting all service when frequencies typical of engine noise & vibration are detected.
Then, of course, you’d have to re-legislate common sense for the ninnies who would drive with their heads in a sound-proof bag.

Neither of these would account for the fact that many people use their cell phone while on a bus or train.
Re: Re: engine vibration = no service
another reason in favor of it!

What if I’m in the back?
I think the reality is, this is something that’s probably worth having a law about but basically you have to accept it’s unenforceable.
Driving barefoot is illigal in some states.

Its impossible to legislate common sense.
