In Australia it is illegal for the driver to use a hand held mobile in the car, and although most people do not know it, and it is not often enforced, it is also illegal for the driver to eat, drink, or smoke while driving. It is classed as "not being in full control of a motor vehicle". I will be buggerred if I am going to drive for 4 hrs or so without munchies or soft drink... or a cigarette for that matter. (but then I don't always stick to the speed limit either) Four Weis wrote: > devil wrote: > > > Harry Davis wrote: > > > > > > It's been passed by the state legislature and the governor is supposed to > > > sign it this week. > > > > And they are now considering a ban on cup holders? > > > > :-) > > Don't laugh, it may not be illegal to have cup holders in the car, it may > become illegal to USE them.
