    I've actually considered getting a jammer many times. So that anyone that comes within 1/4 mile of my truck might actually put their phone down and look out the windshield.

    @x1Heavy thanks for the article. Now I really want one of these jammers--both gps and cell phone.

    There was an article a few months back out of Fla. about a guy using a jammer to block cell phones, problem was it also interfered with police radios. Took them a few weeks to catch the guy, if I recall correctly, those were some serious felony charges he was facing, and yes, it was because of people on the cell phone while driving.

    yeah I think I read about that guy, he was jamming all along his commute or something. Took them a while to pinpoint him but it was always at the same point and the same time every day so they had some sophisticated detecting devices set up to catch him and he was in some seriously deep trouble over that.

    Talk about being in a jam. He just needs the bread and peanut butter now.

    This could be bad for the robots driving the trucks in the future

    All this talk about Jamming is so rude. Can't we just call it a tallywhacker?
