Hi Steve'
I believe that police and fire fighters are also exempt.
If people acted responsibly, we would not need as many laws.

Anthony,
Frankly, I'm not sure we should have won that one. Most of the mobile =

communication, and=20
while we may not be quite as bad as the cell phone users cruising =
along=20
while talking, I can't help wondering how attentive anyone using a =

on their driving.
As an interesting side issue, does the new law prohibit police and =
fire=20
fighters from using their radios while driving? Certainly they have =
more=20
need for their radios than do we hams.
