Ontario just banned the use of handheld devices while driving. Not a huge setback. We'll win this war eventually. Every so many years the man with the rubber stamp listens to a few people who can't drive and passes a new law.
Some countries still don't have cupholders in their vehicles because they think sippin' a Pepsi is going to send you into the ditch. The fact: It won't. What will send you into the ditch is holding the Taste of a New Generation between your legs at 80km/h.
What they don't tell you is that the day they began mass producing the Model T, some woman, or womanish man (to be fair) has been lobbying for something. in 1928 they almost outlawed toothpick-usage while driving. "Pick your teeth, pick your casket!" was the slogan. Seems silly, doesn't it? It didn't at the time. People got better at driving, and better at picking their teeth, and now nobody crashes on their way home from eating BBQ. Unless they had a few beers with their ribs. Don't drink and drive.
