Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.. it’s October 1st already.. and that means that he new Vermont hands free cell phone law went into effect today. The new lay (described here)  prohibits drivers from even touching their phones while driving. there do seem to be some exceptions.. you’re allowed to turn your phone on an off.. but nothing else. How would they enforce that ? Wireless headsets are ok.. but you’re not allowed to touch your phone to .. say.. change volume.. or go on mute.

it was quite an adjustment.. I use a good 3000 minutes of cell every month.. much of that time in a car. many times today I found myself reaching for my phone.. but I stopped short. I tried using the fancy voice dialing features of the car.. but those never work. I think getting over this distraction on is going to be.. well… distracting !

i like the intent of the new law.. anything we can do to make driving more safe is definetly good with me..

i just…….

well.. i just wish it applied to other people.. not to me !

nite all, nite sam
