[QUOTE="soberups, post: 490127, member: 14668"] There is a new policy for drivers in the Oregon district that all cellphones and personal electronic devices must be kept in the back of the truck and cannot be in the cab. The intent of the rule is to prevent drivers from being distracted while driving. I dont talk on my phone while driving, but I refuse to store it in the back. Instead, I disobey the rule and clip it to the visor so that, in the event of a traffic accident, I can reach it to call 911 instead of having it stuck behind a locked door in a wrecked vehicle. There is a winding country road I deliver on every day that has had 9 fatalities during the 15 years I have been on the route....in a 7.2 mile stretch. Both sides of the road are lined with little crosses and memorials for the people who have died there. The road is unlit, narrow, curvy, and typically driven at a far higher rate of speed than is safe. I have had dozens of near-misses and close calls on this road. I'm not going to drive it without having a phone available. [/QUOTE]
