Well that's a refreshing take on nuclear physics. Atoms don't smash into each other because there is so much space between each one. It's all relative. Perception is subjective.

Anyone else have this problem...
Your driving and someone calls, you don't answer because your driving
2 seconds later they leave you a text
4 minutes later they call again followed by two more texts
2 minutes later they call you again followed by another text
1 minute later they call you once every minute on the minute
You pull over or arrive at your destination and look at your phone and wonder what the **** is this mental break down about, i was driving for 15 minutes not ignoring you...

This just goes totally against all I've learned on dozens of visits and driving virtually thousands of miles in the U.S. I have never had a problem with a single American and in fact have found them almost without exception to be very kind and generous to me and my wife.
If your phone is turned OFF you won't have that problem.
Well maybe wait a minute or two (or half an hour) until it is safe. I think a change in attitude is necessary...................a phone is for the convenience of the OWNER only.
My cell phone is for outgoing calls! 
If you could have taken this route would you have.
Answer, listen, reply s,u,p, send, block number 15 minutes.

I "had" this one buddy, he was a junkie when it came to weed. I was driving for 15 minutes to go to the other end of town and i sh!t you not, in that span he called me 7 times and left 10 text messages...
"Hey man can you score"
"Hey man wtf"
"Hey man if you dont' want to be friends i get it"
"Hey man can you help me out"
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
etc etc etc
I expected that kinda thing from fentanyl junkies not pot heads, :lol:
I wouldn't be surprised if at this point your wondering "wtf" is going on in Sudbury :lol:

Good for you. Bluetooth is completely safe and legal and for those of us that use or phone more it is fine. You seem to be once again getting on your moral high horse and deciding how others should be living their lives. As long as they are not breaking the law, I have no issues.
Well according to a discussion on the radio this morning, Blue Tooth (or any other gadget) is not completely safe as it is impossible to keep your mind 100% on your driving while talking and listening to others talk!
. . . hey man, perhaps it was some 'special stuff' you know. . . . . . I don't suppose, . . . . you know, . . . maybe there is some of that stuff left and I, . . . . could get rid of it for you so it doesn't destroy any other lives. Happy to help out, . . . can you pay the shipping?

... or listening to the radio.
... having passengers in the car.
Anything can be a distraction. Only holding one's phone in one's hand is illegal.
In BC they do. Revenue stream Recently one woman racked up 14 charges in Surrey and one in Courtenay got 2 in one day.
Speaking from personal experience (close to a million miles of it) I know if I'm driving down the open highway in normal traffic, I have no problem carrying normal conversation, but if I'm in a busy urban area where there are several different traffic movements and pedestrians to look out for and lights to watch and merging traffic it's impossible to think of anything except driving............add to that poor weather, darkness and bad visibility you have a recipe for disaster.
Probably not Mensa candidates!
Especially when the "guts" fall out of the thing and run down your chin and onto your shirt!
They're closer to $40 for a decent one but often On Sale for $30.
They're not quite as liberating as many believe you can only redial the last number you called-or called you- still beats getting busted though.
I have a Bluetooth in my vehicle. I have my personal phone book on it. When I want to call someone, just say their name and it dials. Still seem to be distracted when driving downtown.
I think got mine at Walmart for around $20 (+ tax). It connects me to Siri and will do anything she does including calling anybody in my contacts. It was the ultra basic model but most of the smarts are on the phone.
I have had that in rentals. The ones I have had seem to download the contacts from your phone. It is nice seeing the call display on the dashboard. My earpiece just allows me to answer.
