Common sense na delikado talaga.<br /><br />I have been wondering the past few days, though, what makes talking on the phone different from talking with a companion who is in the car as well. Kasi talking on the phone tends to be more distracting. It's the way the brain is used, tama ba? Iba kapag nakikipag-usap sa device, at iba kapag yung boses nanggagaling sa parehong place? Kasi even when using earphones talk with someone on the phone, distracting pa rin eh (and against the law). Pero kung naka speakerphone kaya? I've never tried that.sunnydayhttp://notjustforsuperheroes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13300883.post-44221486210795235772013-03-16T09:02:38.395+08:002013-03-16T09:02:38.395+08:00Driving while talking on the cellphone is reckless...Driving while talking on the cellphone is reckless driving, so there is a law against it. Technically, if you drive with one hand, that is a violation. However notice that this is unevenly enforced. For example, a jeepney driver always does that - getting fare from passengers while driving with one hand - yet it is not considered a violation by enforcers. Also, ignorance of the law is no excuse. Buti pa nga sa simbahan, when you have <i>invincible</i> ignorance, you are excused, although it is still wrong.WillyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887272682669742570noreply@blogger.com
