Meanwhile a Bus driver talks on the phone while driving the Bus in Montreal Quebec..

Cell phone junkies in British Columbia and Saskatchewan will now have to think twice before picking up the phone while at the wheel of a vehicle. Both provinces have approved laws that come into effect today, banning the use of cellphones while driving. The goal of both laws is to hopefully reduce driver distraction and thereby reduce accidents. According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC), people who talk on cell phones and drive are six times more likely to be involved in an accident than the average driver. That rate goes up to 23 times more likely for those who text and drive. “There is no question that this legislation will make our province’s roads safer,” said Lindsay Olson, the IBC Vice-President for BC, Manitoba and Saskatchewan http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/gross-vehicular-manslaughter-while-texting/
