Mobile Phone Usage Law

[BIGJB]

I have to say that its about time this law was brought in.
After being in NZ for the last year and a bit I fail to see how most
people over here managed to get thier licence let alone think they
can multitask while driving.
I see the younger ones here in town driving around texting away
while cruising the main street in their crap boxes, all of 16 years old so
have no real driving experience as it is, car laoded up with mates,
doof doof music blarring. No wonder they end up having accidents.
The 1st thing I did when I got here was fitted my hands free kit to my car.
As far as I am concerned if you are caught driving and texting they should
take ya car and never give it back.

It's obvious that most comments here are from city drivers.
Talking in traffic is stupid, hands-free or otherwise you're still concentrating on the conversation.....
Texting in traffic is bloody stupid.

But on a country highway with light or no traffic in the middle of the night...no problem.

The law would disagree however.
What good for the goose...
