But if it saves one child's life...

On the other hand, I can still use my GPS to get to the fridge.


Hi,
Up here we have anti-distraction law while driving. You don't mess with
GPS, Cell phone, reading map, doing make up, drinking coffee,etc. will
cause a ticket and 175.00 fine first time. Also you can't smoke in a car
when kids are on board. For that it is 1000.00 ticket.

i would go for all that. totally unenforceable, but i'd go for it.
where is "up here" ?
