What happened is that the national transportation safety board decided that about 4500 people died on the highways last year while talking or texting while driving. Now they connot affect state laws reguarding driving but they can make rules that affect US DOT vehicles. The next plan in this is to force states to make cell phone laws by the threat of withholding federal highway funds. It's blackmail pure and simple but they have done it before and will do it again. One politician is already pushing to make cell phone makers to build in a motion dector into the phones that will shut the phone down if it's moving over a certain speed.
Ya gotta remember that the federal government has for more than 30 years been trying to push the idea of a federal drivers license and license plates. The states have refused to give up that authority but still that is an agenda that has spanned presidents and politicians from both parties. One proposal put forward when slick Willie was in office was that the fees for plates and DL's would be passed back to the states and that the states could save a great deal of money by shutting down the DMV.
AS far as the Cb's were concerned for the most part they were left on channel 19. The problem with cells is dialing and texting while driving.
You can be distracted while driving by lots of things. Changing Cd's, channel flipping on the radio, opening a pack of smokes or food pakages, pouring coffee from a Thermos, putting on makup and changing clothing while driving.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
