A PSA From My Goalie
At my hockey game today, my goalie was showing off her shiny new blue tooth headset. Which she bought because she got a warning for driving while talking on her cell phone, something that was made illegal in BC as of Jan 1, 2010. You are allowed to talk on your cell while driving so long as it’s hands-free (either headset or speaker phone), takes only one touch to answer and is secured to your car. And no texting or emailing is allowed.
So, folks, take it from my goalie: don’t drive and talk!

Ahhh thanks Dr.Snow !!
Research has shown that even talking hands-free is pretty close to the same distraction as using a handset, so it's still safest to pull over if you're going to use the phone, or let incoming calls go to voicemail. That's what I've started to do now that I've smartened up:
