This is a bad idea
DoT considers installing cellphone jammers in cars to prevent distracted driving.
First of all, people using their phones while driving know what they are doing is wrong.
Secondly, DoT should be encouraging sustainable transportation not coming up with amazing ways to irritate me.
Finally, what about passengers? Do I not have the right to use my phone if I am a passenger? What about if I am in a livery car? I am not driving. Like other things, does this mean that PD is going to be exempt from these rules (of course they are)?
Now, I am anti-car but I am also anti-stupid fraking laws that are there to make people feel better about the job that they are doing.
Bad idea, and Barry, fire this guy.
