Yet another DUH! 4693

Sounds like paranoia. What basis do you have for the IIHS to desire to ban CPs? (other that the fact it increases hazardous driving)

How do all those incoming calls you mentioned FIND you then?

Again,so what? That would be their choice. I believe that the vast majority would still keep their CPs,bcause they would still use them a lot.You seem to believe that the only reason for a CP is to talk -while you're driving somewhere-,and it's NOT.Maybe for YOU,but not everyone else.

YOU are not the average,then.

Oh,get real.Prohibiting use -while driving- is not going to have that sort of effect. If it's such an emergency,the person should be stopping anyways,to render buttistance.And you seem to think you would be the only one pbutting by,that other cars with maybe more then one occupant would not have a CP to use.

Besides,the major problem is not using a CP while out on the open highways,it's using them in URBAN areas with higher traffic densities.That's where a CP-driving prohibition would be necessary,and enforced.

Again,YOU are not the average.You just think so.

Perhaps you are.I think so.

Then you would benefit more with a pre-paid like Trac-Fone;that is what I use.You probably would save a lot of money.

And you just admitted that you "don't use it that much",so it would not be that great a loss to you.For those few calls,you CAN wait until you stop somewhere,or use a landline.

Again,you neglect the benefits of an inexpensive CP service like TracFone,for limited usage.And having a CB is no guarantee that you will connect with someone who can help you.
