Cellular Static
In a headline sure to strike fear in the hearts of Angelenos, the L.A. Times reports that the Los Angeles city council has proposed banning hand-held cell phones in cars.
Hands-free devices, like I try to use most of the time (well, I use the earpiece on my phone, does that count?), would still be allowed:
Yet to be decided are what penalty scofflaws would face, and how such a rule would be enforced. And given that Los Angeles borders, and in some cases surrounds, lots of other cities without such a ban, officials would also have to figure out how to notify drivers to put down their phones when they enter the city limits.
