    Everyone have their headsets?

    With the great ray's newest rule coming to enforcement on haldheld phone ban, who all has done purchassed a headset?
    I got one of then little earbid ones and can' figure how to keep it in my ear?
    Do you glue it or something?
    I can't wait for some drive post wreck say "I got distracted cause I couldn't talk on my phone".
    The ntsb wants to ban phones totally while driving, think they want to ban driving while driving.

    If banning driving while driving would secure more votes I'm sure they'd try it.

    All that stupid law is about is grabbing votes. SEE WE MADE IT SAFER! VOTE FOR ME! Give me a friggin break.

    I got my bluetooth ear piece I use every day so F em. I still get to talk on the phone and drive! Sorry if that up sets all that were for this law but it makes me very happy!!

    They aren't that bad once you get use to it. Just make sure if you get one you spring for a good one. Most of the cheap ones suck.

    Just get the over the head ones from Pilot or Flying hook,,$49 and last, also are comfortable and can be seen by law-enforcement,,or the blue parrot,, but they are more expensive and don't seem to last me. I hate the ones you try to stick on your ear,, hurts after a prolonged period

    Hell i'm glad we have to use handfree phones, it leaves me more time to hold my coffee mug, pick my nose, comb my hair, ea,findle with my radio, and put on my makeup while driving wirh a elbo and one foot, next there going to tell me I can't go use the bathroom, or take my 10 minute nap every other hour when i'm driving, dang it I guess I will just have to stay in my seat while driving now, maybe I need to get me a co - driver so he/she can bring me food from the fridge now.

    Naw! Just place the fridge right so you can lean over, using the shifter for support and reach it. Your left knee will steady the steering wheel.
    Now the real trick will be making a sandwich as you drive and reach.

    You know what we need is another law so everybody has to wear motor bike helmets, cause if you get into a wreack you might bump your head and get a knot on your noggin, lol when will it ever.stop, we don't need more laws we need.better education on driving, meaning why punish everybody just cause a few are to stupid or lack the skill to drive and work at the same time.
