Unless you band it completely, make it punishable by fines; people are going to do it. Putting up website, and telling folks time and time again will not work. For example: Seatbelt's, no need to say more.
If talk and texting while driving is so much of a freaking pain, pass a law and start throwing the book and fining people. If your not gonna do that, move on and focus your brainless power on something else.
@305BuddyLuv California does punish with fines, but people still talk and text on their handsets all the time.
This campaign will be effective though. If you ever expect 100% compliance, you'll be disappointed 100% of the time. If this campaign improves compliance from 30% to 40%, then it was effective.
I know I stopped texting and using the handset in California when it became illegal to do so. I'm sure many others did as well. If a million people stopped, then surely there were less incidents that were caused by texting or calls.
@Kambridge Yes I agree. I was using hands free headsets when they started being sold. Texting will driving, I did a few times; but it was at a red light and I texted I was driving. My thing is every state needs to follow Cali on this if they want to make a big dent.
When they start putting point on your license, and nailing folks with big fines, more folks with take it seriously. Right now not enough people are.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.
