Exempted siguro isa rin kasi un sa main reason kaya ginawa ang ganun device. Sobra naman pag pati un bawal, lalo na pag ikaw nagddrive then may kailangan kang tawagan sa opisina. Kaya nga hinihintay ko ung 2012 Focus dahil dun sa MyFord Touch. hehe

hehehe,..\!!sa Ford Fiesta ok rin naman e...dial "blah..." dial "blah blah"...kaso sabi ng tatay ko pagnakakakita daw siya ng ganun na nag-ddrive tapos freehandset gamit, parang siraulo, paano ba naman mag-isa lang dun sa loob ng kotse tapos salita ng salita, para bang may saltik....hehehhe!!pasaway.

As much as this is a positive step for safety, I would rather have the senate and congress enact the car lemon law and other consumer protection laws which would be of a bigger benefit for the common filipino.

Talking on a Phone Worse than Driving Drunk

A British study just released shows that talking on a mobile phone while driving is more hazardous than operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. The study is sure to raise a few eyebrows and fuel the controversy over legislation aimed at banning cell phone use by drivers.

Tests conducted by scientists at the UK-based Transport Research Laboratory for insurance firm Direct Line involved 20 subjects using a driving simulator to test reaction times and driving performance.

Researchers tested how driving impairment was affected when drivers were talking on a handheld mobile phone or a hands-free phone, and when drivers had consumed enough alcohol to register above the legal blood-alcohol limit. The UK legal alcohol limit is 80mg/100ml, or .80.

Direct Line reported that the results showed drivers' reaction times were, on average, 30 percent slower when talking on a handheld mobile phone than when legally drunk - and nearly 50 percent slower than under normal driving conditions.

Also, the tests showed, drivers talking on phones were less able than drunk drivers to maintain a constant speed, and they had greater difficulty keeping a safe distance from the car in front.

In France, it's totally banned to use the phone even if your car is parked in a safe area...

You have to get out of the car if you want to make a phone call or reply to SMS...
