A discussion about corporate and business podcasting with tips and guidelines

My country, Canada, is in the midst of discussing the possibility of banning new drivers from using electronic devices such as MP3 players and cell phones while driving.

I totally agree, but I don't think this should be aimed at novice drivers. Nobody should be driving around with a cell phone stuck to their head OR an MP3 player stuck in their ears.

Honestly, I love my country, but my government is terminally stupid sometimes.

However, I think the writing is on the wall world-wide about cell phones and MP3 players while driving. Many countries and provinces require handsfree units to talk on a cell while driving and while many people can't see the difference between a cell phone hands free unit and an MP3 player, the difference is clear.

Handsfree units are typically a single ear device. The other ear is wide open to hear things. Further, one generally doesn't have tunes blasting out of their cell phone handsfree unit.

Thoughts?
