Let's use that very open stretch of road as an example then. I agree- very little happens there and the dangers of talking on the phone are a lot less than say on Deerfoot. I will give you that. However that brings me to two points:
- How would you want to draft a law that states certain areas do not apply? How complex must the law be?
- Most importantly, if you are driving that empty stretch of road and are unable to notice the fact that a police car is riding along side you, or close enough to you to see you on the phone; then you were in fact too distracted to be using the phone as you missed something as big as a police cruiser.
