Another dumb, unenforceable liberal law. How can they possible know
whether you are using a hands free transceiver or not? You are
driving along with both hands on the wheel and talking..... For all
they know you are talking to a passenger, or singing along with the
music on your car radio. And why would it be any more dangerous than
doing either one of those two things?

I don't know if it's still that way, but back in the 70's, if you even
wanted to have a car radio in your car, you had to apply for a special
permit at the DMV, and they would levy a tax and stamp your
registration with the approval.


Yeah.... That makes a lot of sense. Pay a tax for the privelege of killing
yourself or someone else in a car accident.... but that should tell you what
its all about.. Money. If the government sees some way to get some extra
money from any of its citizens, they'll jump on it. They don't need any
excuse. They just collect money for the same reason Hillary climbed
Everest.... "Just because its there".
