it should be forbidden for everyone

They will NEVER be able to enforce this....You can text all you want while on the open highway.....Only way you'll get busted is if you get in an accident while texting.

or if they see you

over here it's already forbidden - it's a 40 euro fine and 1 point (18 points and your license is gone). and no, something like "i had cold ears so i wanted to warm them with my phone" doesn't count as excuse. although people get really creative with that

when two cops say you used your phone - and the phone is indeed there when they stop you, for example on the passenger seat - you are fucked. and to be honest: in 99,9% of the time the cops are right because people still ignore the law and just come up with a bunch of bullshit excuses. i have been almost hit a couple of times by dumb assholes who were busy with their phones so i have no sympathy for them

Mobile phones (talking and texting) are banned in all road vehicles in Australia, the only exception being if you have a hands free unit that doesn't require you to push anything to initiate or answer a call.

Even a fine of a couple of hundred dollars doesn't stop the idiots.

While I'm a libertarian at heart and think things like this should be done locally... I will say that the only wreck I've ever been in was while I was texting(learned my lesson ha).. thankfully it was only a fender bender.

I think this is a great law actually.

One of my offline businesses I started 2 years ago. I own 2 semi trucks and trailers and dont allow my drivers to text while driving. Although im sure they do sometimes this will help overall. Besides the danger to everyones lives, that fucking equipment is NOT cheap!!!

So whats next will be voice to text, you will talk to your phone it will translate it into text and send your SMS. Any received messages will be read to you by your phones computer. Effectively removing the barrier for humans to talk to each other or punch out messages on tiny keyboards.

win/win?

i still think its bullshit. no professional driver should be allowed to use a phone while driving and if caught should loose their license for years.

i was in a taxi a few weeks ago and this guy was calling someone and trying to find something on his phone and almost wrecked.. TWICE in a 15 minute cab ride.

Since it's proven fact that texting while driving is as bad if not worse than driving drunk I think the penalties should be the same as driving drunk.

It's too bad that they actually had to formally ban this and drivers didn't just figure it out on their own...

Good!

I never understand how people have texted myself before saying they cannot chat on the phone as they are driving!

OMFG.... Texting should have been banned before talking without handsfree!

I still hold my CDL even though I haven't driven in a while as it's nice to have as you could basically move anywhere and find a job if you needed to. I use to talk on the phone quite a bit but at the end used a bluetooth and have driven 12+ years with zero accidents. I think good drivers are good drivers and laws like this will have little effect as most people that can't drive good to begin with are usually the dumb asses with no common sense so they are probably already having accidents and a law on the books wont stop them. I can't even imagine texting while driving a truck, eating, drinking, smoking and talking on a phone at the same time as shifting though no problem for me, my car is stick as well.

Nothing is wrong with the picture. Driving laws are made by the STATES. Thus the federal government has no say so. Since truckers are involved in interstate commerce they can do something about them.
