Ah, I see the reason for your confusion BS. The problem wasn't the use of the cellphone, or the talking, handsfree, or not, it was the lack of indication which annoyed you. In New Zealand, a highly sophisticated country, we have come up with a turn signal law. BEFORE making a turn, change of lanes and other such manoeuvres, drivers are legally required to indicate their intended moves 3 seconds before doing them. Canada is a primitive country, so has obviously not figured out that such a law might help other drivers adapt to the expected situation in a few seconds. If they introduced that law, they could fine people for failing to indicate instead of for using a cellphone. It's not really that they used a cellphone which upsets you, it's that they didn't indicate. Stopping everyone using a cellphone because somebody didn't indicate is ridiculous. People who agree with the anti-cellphone laws are obviously so incompetent as drivers that they should be banned from driving. They are so befuddled that they can't imagine somebody else chewing gum and walking a straight line simultaneously. They would ban chewing gum while walking a straight line. Mqurice
