[There are times when I need to be reachable at all times for work]
When did this starting to happen? I'm just curious, don't take me wrong I'm just wondering what people did before cell phones or if we have created this all by ourself to be even more slaves under the employer.
Does people get paid extra to always be "on call" aswering phone calls while driving or could a beeper be just as effective?
I see myself as a fairly good driver but completly worthless if I would to talk on the phone at the same time. It has to do with my 2 brain cells not being able to multi task.
I was driving a taxi cab in Sweden for extra money and it was a PITA if and when I had to answer calls over the CB radio or pick up the mobile phone and at the same time look for the right address to pick up and maybe having to write the new address down on a piece of paper.
Those were scary times for the people around me on the road.
Yes, I know my limit and therefore I don't use cell phones.
Another hot topic years ago in Sweden was a racecar driver that got caught speeding on a regular street. He and many with him thought that racecar drivers and such should be allowed leniancy for speeding since they were soo much better drivers then "average Joe". O'boy, you should have seen the responses to that statement.
