Hands Free Driving

Can hear you.

Take this most of obligate there's some problems you. Take this obligation freely and starved for so -- EM -- just want to thank the people of Massachusetts who sent me here. I can't promise -- you right now everybody and I make them but I I'll be sure. They'll make mistakes from time to time to start murdering the last the last of those killed include one. And some state money that was actually released. Senator million way. The world -- sort of got. No broadcasting promote new. Headquarters building got what they do know. -- It was so exciting watching the swearing in -- I almost cried. I -- I cheered up a little that I filled up -- it was so emotional. Iron I'm not really why do the same. Then take his -- a lot of Joba as a public that you take this obligation freely.

CD couldn't do it -- microphone was broken so who's cracking up prison beds out. But there we are talking about the the new bill -- house passed yesterday. Which way in our assets Blake Young Massachusetts us -- was supposed to be an anti tax thing bill but this why you can't trust the liberal whacko bastards. They they -- there Macon and about how about hands free and by the way we're talking a little earlier but about what that was the vote on this. It was -- design and not against it what's going on here you know why because they package it with the senior driving thing. And I packaged into the neighborhood's all right bill it's always are related what is the vote how is weather right. How is whether I use a hands free device in my cellphone related to the fact that nine year old drivers need to be tested. -- But do they want to -- your ability to dial will follow wired driver you have to use. Voice activation. And after dialing your fellow so called hands -- this should we were talking earlier about whether the Democrats are gonna get it in adjust their agenda now this is the kind of thing that will keep the population. Energized. Are against you really not case is just like south I think immigration does it and they tax issues do dad. Overreaching. On the part of the nanny state death is infuriating. -- the idea that they -- I would -- taken out of legislation I think -- probe -- resilience a Democrat from must -- I did not -- with tenacious and so I can't say and -- latter and former colleague -- she came in after -- coalition -- don't give a -- that's not a he is what she says yeah I have to say that I agree with us his or quote. No one should be driving on -- Public roadways while holding a cell phones are represented of programs while holding a sell some listen to the rest look at that quote -- looking at one cell phone. Opening one cell phone. All pinch punching numbers all buttons. On a cell phone is is distracting is texting and indistinguishable. From it -- totally stupid right that's one of the most. And you compare that to when you say tax I I mean for me that don't don't confuse because I know you could -- immediately taken advantage and here's a question for you can file separate tax out -- I do an email and used to you guys don't tell anybody ever got was essentially saying there's very answer is yes -- obviously yes OK -- now that was now by you saying that's the same. As holding down the one on your phone to call your wife. When you -- what are your voicemail sound that that's how people make calls not everybody is pre dial they had. They ought outlawed me pressing one -- you because that's distracting yes they do because. It in terms of the operation look how one -- distracted do every cause you make -- is not going to be to a pre dial number what are you the only -- dial as Rosalie and coaxing we have -- program this is the problem with these broad based. Long live dates -- Jarrell are supposed to apply to every one equally in terms of in this case in terms of the operation -- about how ever more commonwealth so -- say -- I want meet pressing wide. That's meet pressing wine is more dangerous apparently that haven't a couple of coffee and it drip paint. Greasy cheeseburger is a -- couple coffee in the grip these group grease you're -- be whatever the hell -- on something like that I know again I know the point -- American. Is it would it would be covenant the negligent to distract and I tell us. -- Just 666 CUS -- is it is. In anticipation. Of a law that all pulled over to the silent around that would be dangerous Oliver morass there this is what I don't understand about tell people Pall over.

Where -- pull over. You're comin' down the Mass -- you tell me it's safe -- to Pall over. From eighty miles an hour here though I've play calling evident what the owner of the right side there is an alternative yeah there is an alternative that call that you thought was so incredibly important yeah probably isn't. Really think now I know you're losing your money -- I think senility setting hot hot hot hot thing Barack how many calls have fallen to the truly. Critical. Urgent actually nobody call category nobody calls me nobody nobody nobody's interest in.

That that was gonna talk car accident scrolling on my iPod trying to find out. Like now where is the iPod legislation before -- will do companion bill 617 666860. -- your NW RK what do you think about this.

Good morning dot com it's the com I love you for your good shape. -- tell -- and so little I don't know what I don't know what to -- very. I have. I have have you guys preprogrammed bid to speed dial number six. Pick up my phone I don't I feel for number six rhetoric taken. My eyes off the road and I hold it down about 22 gonna -- you guys until an inch instead shellac in moon bat it's got a mandate that I have to say. All you know call John Schmidt and all the sudden my total respect Domingo in good shape called Mary Jones yeah. It can't do it truly a shame I.

Question that we have to extend to others Bryant is do you does your voice activation actually work and that's how mine works. Whatever name you say it thinks you said something else.

Absolutely and I. I mean -- I think it's just too distracting to tune the radio to adjust the -- what you can do anything.

So we're number six on the phone what number are we on your radio. Number Alessio what I'm already a number one does not thank you Brian -- about. No I get but the same question in a minute or dangerous to to realize the -- OK so he says this is exactly what he said. Hey as I'm driving along I can just pick up the phone I can feel my way opening up the keyboard to number six bold is right here on exactly who we appreciate the listen to ship and we appreciate the call. What does Brian do these are good -- do you see how hot -- ready okay that yellow legal bad. What does Brian do not when it's a college is not free program. He's driving now on the road as he is right now in he has to dial 61 set up and -- for treated that none of that and I and here's a question hitting how many numbers should be allowed hot hot hot hot. This is the trouble a nanny state government got some help out and I know would you allow. I would -- I would not get into numbers because it's irrational to get into the number of numbers you're allowed to -- all right rational thing to do is let people make judgments -- some roads in some situations where you can dial safely there's others where you have to be more careful we have to -- well they are not a listener -- the including -- who would you do we just spoke not a listener -- do you. Who has not himself or herself -- as absolutely astonished. At how close they have come to an accident based on their own distraction applause how. Innocently and inadvertently submit with next to them do the same thing all of a sudden his -- and across the road never they try to I call -- Donaldson had never experienced that with dialing I have seen people were so distracted. While talking on the phone mostly women. That there -- they have no idea what's going on no idea that all I have seen that I've I've been behind a woman. Who sat there for like three minutes after a light change we're talking if she's having a conversation. Probably about some guy should -- I don't. Right you can't know personal issues issues look at it you in the rearview -- that doesn't -- you wouldn't believe the idiot on -- Marciano check me out. Danny RW RK Ohio.

I got extra -- you do what's going on. No idea I agree with you about many saying. But the idea that legislating. Driver distraction. Is -- many states is is thought this up so well.

Tommy how you can approaches in a way that isn't. That isn't kind of random because we talked about all the other distractions. Any isn't just knee jerk legislating there's no evidence as a matter of fact the evidence points to the opposite. There is no evidence that hands free devices make driving safer yet they ignore the evidence of one opponent and Heidi looks LA that's. Evidence of anything other than the fact of people look at apparently continued to a new law what is a common sense of prohibition. The -- that general prohibition against distracted -- negligent operation has been on the books for years and years and years -- would agree with me on that we all know what. What is developed over the past 1012 he has a new technology. And that technology is proving to be deadly. And I'm sorry this is comments like -- PA knows that the thing that is dangerous he's using cellphones so if you wanna deal with that ban cellphones and see how happy to -- real with you but might. By trying to pick on some aspect of it that research indicates that. Completely will make no difference why how does that help. Well the again the research can be interpreted in a hundred different when no because -- out -- Because a state has passed a ban on texting -- on cellphone use. And the number of accidents does not decline what does that tell you people who are ignoring the law that's what it tells -- another argument -- all right what's more dangerous driving on highway and ninety's. Or using your cell phone. Yet we have laws that say you can't gore 55 -- nobody pays any attention -- That's but they but that there is it is on the books and it can be enforced there should be on the books and should be enforced and by the way there's no well let's just -- on this first offense what is -- a hundred bucks second offense 200 that is on the point there isn't 100 did try to make sure that.

I don't know we are aware this new legislation passed by the house not only would men using your cell phone on a hands free device you have to use. Voice activation to -- really don't hold down a single digit. To dial the phone Scott era WR jail. Price --

I don't know I don't know push -- about it it's gotta be at its charms a democratic genes are really coming out on this one. Time it in basic. I'm I'm I'm beginning to wonder that if it the next day -- legislate is right or true blood is how many squares of toilet paper you can use to wipe your black. Thought I'd just can't believe it you're a long art. That's also care about his. Own regulations on people.

Happens I -- legislation already includes the toilet paper squares -- and how much I guess it just to give you some reassurance got a.

currency c'mon I wanna get every conversation was I -- Fresno state these driving. Hot hot hot hot hot hot deputy accidentally artists are it's gotta know what do you us got to realize it would have.

The commonwealth illustration that way. The problem who do. -- Jeff in the face those situation in which is in danger to the motoring public. Dangers -- digital potential I was make laws that address the danger this does not address the danger did you agree Sergio is we are it was then that texting is a distraction and a danger. I said it can be distracting can be distracted just thank you for the concession. They I mean why everything obvious -- every -- any obvious I know somebody got killed reaching first CD conceding dropped on the floor he reaches down to grab it -- he's dead and I've got -- let's pass -- no CD reaching onto the floor. No dropping CD or something like that idea your idea to always played Iowa propose a who throws a no wounded the liberal lack go community has not gotten themselves and a Tizzy over seating is why the Republicans -- liberal and -- all of us I don't know why any Republican would vote for this common sense no there's no common sense that would okay common sense -- do you concede the point that it's a distraction texting while diamond -- hang -- dangerous we're not talking about -- we're talking about. Banning the use of cellphones without a hands free device when all research indicates the danger from cell phones is the intellectual distraction not for dialing. Not the hands free device -- hands free device research euros makes no difference Letterman and that is you but interpretation. Of data that shows no to cars are just -- good morning.

Good morning guys I'm about to draw up PM try to. Feel right eating in its job and did not -- That's something don't do what you get distracted you don't do Brussels chocolates Dominic L -- lot of houses and road signs. Because I don't have come closer -- into the -- look toward the house and well what -- on highways that's why I've read. --

Avenue meets US navy and inside you put up by the state to tell you how. Please don't read like okay.

Well -- and bludgeoned and I slowed almost crazy guy up front yeah. Tom this is a personal responsibility get out of my why he didn't kill.

There's a speed limits similarly ridiculous Jeff. Well don't enforce -- stop signs some you know ridiculous yes stop sign up we unity are not hot -- very serious problem should be optional hi how how how they took all the emails -- etc. some responsibility. Day here on our -- prison response.

I didn't call this. Yes. Total car title -- there's some inherited it anyway. Let's say comedy that is how. Have a law on the books collegiate start driving shouldn't have to be written to cover -- I can't keep -- a -- every little -- and that. Dialing adult -- just make a call it's -- short to talk to you what people colleague senate seat. I unit behind every little movie you like to -- I want in the -- and could -- radio station -- Exactly. You don't need a lot press. Cellphone unless you're gonna DA itself itself this should be operations -- dark brought below you'll eat -- art eagle gold was Bob sorry while itself. You could be able to what is -- dial. To war keeps talking.

Dave I'll agree that it's negligence and olive -- that potentially it is already covered under another provision that I. Hope yet but -- but you need enforcement is this something -- you do have a philosophical. Objection to the legislature taking note of the technology that is accelerated in become -- one thing -- argument gets -- yes. He is sitting.

We don't -- another -- hot -- that covered it and to keep you did not want technology.

To read various specific. Enforcement an emphasis to something that is become a flag on the roads is the right thing to do if if there are using cell phones for.

Conversation is a play -- cellphones in the car but to do this half fast Gaffney is a hands free device and -- news. Dialing by talking here cellphone head -- Sally what you want. Our -- our way.

Soft -- when he did it. God job and Venus. It's. So when. Yes Camelot is over. Okay so frustrating yeah. Jim Morrison the I you have. -- you see the blue okay.

waste my -- I retired and on new legislation on non driving rules and one of the rules Leo liberal -- a leftist nanny staters are pushing is seen in this legislation that was passed. By the house yesterday. Would ban on the use of cellphones and less you I had bipartisan vote by the -- by Republicans and Democrats yelling have to find out who's driving who here folks. -- Well that's good and everybody wants -- electric not sure I would handcuff them and European you're comfortable with text and I cannot -- in the mail -- orchestra two out of three no. Yeah Leo we are concerned with his voice active won't -- hands free probably aren't probably there are a million phone calls made every day for air every twelve or thirteen Texan Mike gets sent from the -- So there are in terms of how it impacts lives using -- cellphone while you drive is a huge thing to force everybody to go out. And by a hands free device some of which are very dangerous. And to change the -- their habits and then tell -- dialing your phone. While driving you -- it's just so invasive it's unbelievable so stupid because all the research indicates that it has not changed the results. When you pass these -- editing function and thrive and prosper as successfully as you did for many years when you -- not have a cellphone and -- got I you know I asked myself that every death -- I don't I can't believe we drove around not knowing. Where somebody was at all times and has it made a -- made a qualitative a difference in your -- so we'll thrive and prosper no question about that -- your whole -- and that's reflected in -- tax returns I -- definitely -- dramatically since -- got invented 1986172666. -- his six it has in your -- I'm doing okay and I GA you're making thirteen grandy RM. But in nineteen Ayers just a kid that's true -- Right to rain is an accent LE RK OI writing good motto --

Good morning elements. This is ridiculous army because in order to activate your voice command W all of you laughed at pressed buttons like that so all I know anyway.

So this is the catch 22 they don't wanna let an impression you will be illegal also small all the law there are no there are technologies out -- on -- just automatically go one voice command and you meet every word you guys are good radio. Yeah yeah. I'll have a double walked off the hook up and not call -- the -- I mean yeah I'm leaving this guy is dead -- Cindy's easier. If you're doing that's a great point thank you could -- anybody. Do you just have one six button. -- what. Are. You know but how do you activate you're the number one would be voicemail how do you actually you're.

Got -- with a side by what you I have a trio. But I have the Treo 800 yet -- the side -- out and look forward to start to -- we want to call.

this whacko from Somerville says you shouldn't be driving your car while holding a cell phone. She doesn't mind if you're holding a cheeseburger she she doesn't mind if you're holding an edge lit monster I'm going to be -- they can't -- that's cellphones you've got to be fair given the entire quote not a selective quote. She goes on to say in the same quote. Looking at one cell phone. Opening one's cell phone up punching numbers -- buttons on a cell phone. Is is distracting -- texting. And indistinguishable. From -- is totally stupid and he's pro most she's -- a totally -- which how to get around the -- how could that be. Denise pro -- Democrat all right well. Civic and get her on the -- either because I'm I'm sure there is a to a justification yes she's a little respect action and -- there's no expectation level roles makes sense. Russian -- WRKO.

Yes from Charlotte like just that we're very crushed to. I would prefer to hear from mrs. Robinson that Ted Kennedy.

Well that's the up. And requested from the mrs. Robinson.

Antelope point oh yeah I -- incident that you. You know it is dangerous when the legislature isn't session. This is just another screw the people bill increased the cost of doing business at the registry. And re watched the insurance companies whether another moving violation windfall not close enough future trip there.

Joan good only about the manufacturers who gets us all these hands free devices which they're very excited when these laws passed while over the cellphone or else. There is -- kind of photographer the Chinese. To manufacture all these devices -- next NW RQ Thomas taught here.

Hey good morning. If I'm stuck on in traffic on route 128 trying to get -- and -- bumper to bumper but there's still. You know loudly to call my bought -- bought yeah we're gonna keep it.

Apparently if you if you didn't have a hands free device or your voice activation wasn't doing the dialing for you without touching your phone.

Amazing yeah. Our outlook more distracting and we'll know -- lot of arise why all the women about where many spirit. --

That's probably should be added I think that's. I hope not I hope not I like conference committee -- and -- summon spirits and being done by substation when the -- in the wind tunnel that is just a million of the wind tunnels around substation fabulous you know in this controversy -- first came up and I started doing research on distracted driving one of the big distraction -- was looking at people walking on the sidewalk I think that was number two were three after something else and cellphones were way down molest. And we don't consider all the things that do distract us on a regular basis and how are minimal. The cell phone distraction is for most people who don't use a minimum really -- most people use it MI. So unique highly anticipated dimension of knowledge daily lives it is increased the danger it dramatically to motorists and pedestrians. Alike it's common sense you concede the point the -- to adjuster in August need to watch where they're -- that's that's true you concede the point for texting. And yet somehow around do you think punching numbers Ian is somehow. Distinguishable don't -- automatically distinguish you you well how many numbers you are tearing itself apart in contradiction noticed that yesterday's federal -- is seeing the danger and that probably should be restricted. But you don't Obama gets a restriction under saying it's dangerous all. Both so let's continue to let's let him -- Urgent dad no I'm just say -- if you read differently -- how -- are your courage and let's not that I do we have a Lawson can't hold a paper cup. -- has 200 agree -- but while you drive you have even though might spilling your lap that's causing an accident no no walk -- expected. Well there is a doing Avalon that they have you can't -- distract an operation we don't have. Okay we have the law already this is piling on. To satisfy the needs of nanny state legislate -- Steve we'll tell you Steve -- and WRKO c'mon Steve.

They have like Bono may cry from my cold okay. Cops stop I don't even have a real job so you're not gonna really -- but. Nor did it -- bit. That -- type outnumbered -- adding machine -- outlook due in no winning numbers are they can do within this early. I don't need to look at it won't open -- pretty pretty DI actually blip but a phone without looking.

Al Al Al compliment you manual dexterity I'll even say you remember the extra so let's say the muscular guy on the planet. -- you gonna tell me with a straight face that you all the numbers you call you know what they you're gonna cost.

Can I don't -- can. Point tonight but I don't know that I call all right speed dial -- called why I called I call eight. -- Easily have to do it less than a Bert hey you don't have a guy. So I don't need to be dial phone numbers. And it singled out.

What do you. What about the motors next do you might not be his bitterest skillful -- huge cash.

If he should own could be distracted by what ever her. Meant little.

Are already dead people didn't -- trouble if you get an -- being here.

But when you go get that I'll do it distract it we can. -- that we're not having -- belt aren't they cannot do it though or radio law I didn't play it.

Do -- Steve and Leo what's the fine for having a dog running around the car -- I really don't know this is John McCain.

I am also very dead and has -- you're right to disable. When did you know want to take it -- look forward -- call it.

It doesn't say a foot free device. Gotta turn him just excited but. CA outfox a liberal legislators you really creative minds and Steve -- and we here we have seven Steve's and good week he's had some great lines and soon he's called before. We use stops these -- regular lobbyists dollars a call I the actually has a speed dialing and a lot staff from gloss so let's see her bosses -- call don't ever call again how hot. Hi. -- can call anytime.

Here's another one I couldn't portly gentleman. They come -- Todd is a 100% right they had nothing to do with him -- these these people a government that they're clueless. They really are. I mean you when it comes down to is that distraction not thinking entry. I got a solution. Imagine if they turn your offense -- tale of two minutes I'll be really generous. -- that the -- these people that are totally distract picture chanting for for like a half followed cellphone. I got behind one the other day -- escalade going like 45 to fifty miles an hour a one when he hit the left flank yet Lou. You know the man behind -- behind him saying it like one click explore and now we're never gonna get the normal speeds here. Are like you 65 OO and forty.

The cars should come equipped with a mandatory. Slokar expulsion device.

Right butler butler pleaded got to come up the phone because they know up until emergency -- it can override it. But you know I just cut --

Might it in your experience your experience not as an observer as a participant. Are you more distracted when yet in the midst of the conversation. All Wayne you punching the numbers in to make the call.

That's The King and I that's why I'm a pilot so I understand I have to. It would limit my my concentration any button push yank it back in my eye on the road each OK some doormat. Little more difficult to deal but certainly it's the conversation if you start talking about. Some abstract thing. Vs but I never do that I really thing I'm here I'm way to -- restore whatever. It's always like a 232. Call to call this is on the corner milk well you're instantly they can detect the part of moving. If you -- for more than a minute Truman just cut the more elegant elegant for five minutes.

I don't actually have any trouble with the dialing the phone it's one I have to go onto the Internet to to -- a phone number. I find battle over -- while Britain while managing -- maybe that's what the legislature had in mind so and maybe that's it no goals going so would you concede the point now. Because you can open the door to these got opened in July 20 men and say take a 150 mile so is that is that how you would defined in the existing statute on negligent or distract an operation that's an appropriate loss in they're not happy that was of that the dad dad is an appropriate -- concede that one as well. Well I'm not as well as the only concessional -- like five of the questions -- do you consider this they only -- now say on the -- watch how. I'm -- it is a it's appropriate to be able to come back to somebody. When you know they've been because that's really what the distracted driving -- says. It's has added punishment for you after the fact when you cause an accident org or somehow drawing attention to law enforcement officers. The idea of this the -- part of -- that's a problem is here. Empower cops we drive around looking for you. To be engaging in behavior that's not dangerous for example you stuck in bumper to bumper traffic not moving this one of the great benefits of cellphones. You relax people you take the stress out of being on the road I think you make drivers lot safer when there are rushing to get total point because you're gonna try to actually thank. That the police offices in young community in mind. And as a city that by the side of the road waiting to -- write you up when you were in stuck in bumper to bumper traffic hey they're just as -- that's how this is -- in the water doesn't make an exception they would below our digital and that's why when a state trooper -- drive it like -- nit -- because you're lookin' at -- fall -- but about the cook -- got to get. Talk called me right back whatever the -- you do and a text message the cops should be authorized to put you all about and write you up.

You're playing you know semi -- who stressed it's not ha ha ha -- he must have a Toyota company has gotten hot spot. I'm here at WR KOI.

Do I don't know -- get aren't you know I could see the point where for example when you're text messaging when -- I'd have to be focused. On the book all. You know I can see that is being at -- you have to but when I don't stop felt like I have the push of button which I don't spit it all you guys. I don't -- would problem.

There are no problem which is why this was stupid CI -- it it might be you know what I just brought -- unless there's a lot of tennis is about the bothers me the most. I actually do exactly what rob just set yup I'm out the light does not moving the -- poke ball punch and he actually I'll talk to outdoor cooks.

God I don't bite -- what ought to -- I have vowed that the government evolve. Our stops -- has -- in his cat -- brand new Cadillac fault so I. -- my message city got state legislature. Is that. And out of my pocket and pick up the crash and just -- is a great benefit you anybody who legislate listening. --

Rob do me a favor leave the governor along that car is now a couple of years old. We're also them.

Here on Boston's -- may have sixty W war. So the other morning I didn't.
