I don't think so! Then why do the government allow people to have car phones? However, I'm curious about what the statistics are in phone related car accidents; someone out there must have some data this. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- EdLee@gandalf.UUCP e-mail: lsuc!nrcaer!dgbt!gandalf!edlee I think that if *anyone* is going to be allowed to use a car phone, then there should be a requirement that those phones be hands-free, and that dialing be hands-free too (it already exists). That way, the !@#$ show-offs will have to shell out more $$$ !! :-) -- T.
