This must not happen much to you for you to post it on here. Drive in NJ at rush hour, you'll be able to write a book. Lol

Instead of rendering phones in-operable they should just make hands-free bluetooth a requirement in cars. You could also do text-to-speech and speech-to-text for text messaging.

Well my friend it was a near miss, one that forced me off the road. I may have even ended up in the ditch who knows in what condition. I was lucky.

And that is fine with me Drive safely!

Perhaps some day soon it will be standard (forced by law) and not offered as a additional option as it is today on many cars. You are certainly right it is possible to add the text read back, we already have voice recognition (I have that in both my cars, voice recognishion I mean).

Glad you are ok! I hope at least for now, the cops would be stricter here. I know they are busy with bigger violations, but would be nice if tickets here in Utah are given more often for talking on the cell phone (in hand of course :-) Way too many drivers I see daily with their phone in hand...
