Congress To Review National Bill On Handsfree
Earlier today, and last week, Techdirt has been looking at recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board to reduce the use of cell phones while driving. Now, two congresspeople are preparing to introduce legislation to curb the use of cell phones while driving on a national level. I don't like this. No great argument against it, I just want to be able to use my phone as I drive. If some people can shave, why can't I talk? At least phones can do some good: I've never seen a shaver make a 911 call to help someone in distress.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
