[QUOTE="over9five, post: 935829, member: 1401"] I know some of you have strong feelings about distracted drivers, AND I agree with that. BUT.....back to the OP getting a warning letter for checking the time on his phone. This does not seem to be prohibited by the new regs. I even checked the UPS poster tonight. I'm hoping there is one in every facility so you guys can check me on this. It says three things regarding "hand held": 1. You can't use one hand on your mobile phone [I]to conduct voice communications. [/I] (The OP was not conducting voice communications so this doesn't count) 2. You can only push one button to make or receive a call. (The OP was not making or receiving a call) 3. You have to be able to reach the phone while seated with your seatbelt on. (Let's assume the OP could easily reach the phone) That's why the warning letter is bogus. It's simply not prohibited to check the time on your phone. I'm not saying it's a good idea, I'm just saying it's not prohibited. The sup pulled that [-]out of his[/-] out of thin air. It [B]has[/B] to be grieved because some sup can't be allowed to make his own rules. [/QUOTE]
