Parrish & Heimbecker Licensee 40 by Marie to Proulx a majority of free press readers like the idea of a ban on cellphone use while driving. According to our unscientific online poll 84 per cent of the 1,900 respondents would support new regulations. Premier Gary doer indicated this week that his government was considering the introduction of new regulations in 2008. Mike Waite of safety services Manitoba formerly the Manitoba safety Council said his organization would Welcome any initiative by the government to legislate the use of phones in cars. But Waite pointed to enforcement As the real Challenge facing an eventual bylaw. There Are not enough traffic officers on the roads he said. As executive director Waite is conscious of modelling the behaviour Drivers should adopt. He used to drive and talk on the phone often but he made a drastic decision six months ago i completely stopped and its working for me. Thatus what voice mail is for. Cellular service provider its favours the use of a message service instead of a ban. In partnership with Manitoba Public insurance the company is offering free voice mail for six months to new Drivers who sign up for a Driver education program. Spokesperson Jill Gibson said its is focused on encouraging Safe driving and raising awareness of the dangers of distractions when operating a vehicle. Because cellphone use before an Accident is a self reported act people tend not to admit to doing it said Brian Smiley of Manitoba Public insurance. This makes collecting reliable information difficult. Winnipeg Gas Central traffic unit does not keep statistics on cellphone use relating to car accidents. There is no specific data Field on the reporting forms and we do minimal data entry from the collision reports in any event said a sgt. Gary Shewchuk. For the Manitoba association of rights and liberties a ban could be argued either Way. Its hard to develop an exhaustive list of All the stupid things people do while driving said executive director Valerie Price. But having seen people text messaging changing cd even Reading a Book while driving around Price said a ban would not be a huge infringement on rights. Transport Canadas website has three tips for cellphone toting Drivers turn off your phone before driving let somebody else drive if you Are expecting a Call and pull Over and Park in a Safe spot to take or make a Call. Mariejo. Proulx free press. My. Ca readers favour ban on cellphones while driving enforcement May be real challenges Jason White a ban is totally pointless. I can drive smoke a cigarette talk on the phone. Theress no Way to enforce it. You bought your car you should be Able to do whatever you like inside your vehicle. Just like in your House. Dan Wiebe ism indifferent but i would obey a ban. Brad Parks no i support a ban. Ive had a couple of speeding tickets because i was on the phone not paying attention. Joe Bryksa / Winnipeg free press Joe Bryksa / Winnipeg free press question would you support a ban on cellphone use in cars Joe Bryksa / Winnipeg free press Joe Bryksa / Winnipeg free press Joe Bryksa / Winnipeg free press Melonie Guenther i think a ban is a great idea. Ive had Way too Many close Calls like driving right through a Stop sign while i was talking on the phone. Celina Watt cellphones Are very reliable. They should be allowed in cars for emergencies ;
