No hands free, passengers won’t be able to make calls either, you’d have to pull over and get out of your vehicle to make a call. Can you lean against your car to make a call? How far away from your vehicle will you have to be.

So there you are in a wreck, trapped in your car down an embankment and can’t call for help. How about Onstar?

God save us from these idiots.

This is nothing but an attempt to move consumers to On Star which is a Government Motors product. Cell phones are direct competition to this product and they don’t like it. Not too long ago there was a commercial running were a guy gets into a accident and can’t find his cell phone because of the impact. The hook was that On Star was there and came to the rescue.

I am the operator of a public utility. A water company. I have the responsibility for the health and the safety of 1,500 people. I’m on 24 hour, 365 days a year, emergency call. I have a cell phone for only one reason; that I can be reached no matter what I’m doing. This is stoopid! What about Doctors, etc.? This is stoopid!!!!!

"Progressives," leftists, and statists are only concerned with "doing good" and "good intentions." It never matters that their "good intentions" often wind up killing people. Leftists' "good intentions are littered with the bodies of millions of innocent people they claim to be trying to help. And they never take responsibility for their damage, since they "meant well."

And in spite of the fact that the morons constantly complain about those who talk wile driving, has anyone ever thought about how many drivers call someone to keep them awake?

Every driver has a cell phone. So tell me why the accident rate, fatal and none, has gone down significantly during the same period that the cell phone became a necessity?

I know, they have wrecks while talking. That proves something.

They also have wrecks while breathing.

I think that proves something as well.
