Anoushik Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Well Ashot, aren't researchers concerned that using cellular phones for long periods of time may lead to brain cancer? Also, it may impair one's driving if one's using a cell phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Em Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I have come to the conclusion that texting while driving is not such a good idea. Perfect formula for a rear-ender. Also, did you guys know that you shold NEVER use the phone near your head/ear while it is recharging? I do this out of necessity at times but it is plain stupid.

Em Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) For CA residents: Wireless Telephone Laws FAQs Two new laws dealing with the use of wireless telephones while driving go into effect July 1, 2008. Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions concerning these new laws. Q: When do the new wireless telephone laws take effect? A: The new laws take effect July 1, 2008 Q: What is the difference between the two laws? A: The first prohibits all drivers from using a handheld wireless telephone while operating a motor vehicle. (Vehicle Code (VC) §23123). Motorists 18 and over may use a hands-free device. Drivers under the age of 18 may NOT use a wireless telephone or hands-free device while operating a motor vehicle(VC §23124). Q: What if I need to use my telephone during an emergency, and I do not have a hands- free device? A: The law allows a driver to use a wireless telephone to make emergency calls to a law enforcement agency, a medical provider, the fire department, or other emergency services agency. Q: What are the fines if I’m convicted? A: The base fine for the FIRST offense is $20 and $50 for subsequent convictions. According to the Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule, with the addition of penalty assessments, a first offense is $76 and a second offense is $190. Q: Will I receive a point on my drivers license if I’m convicted for a violation of the wireless telephone law? A: NO. The violation is a reportable offense: however, DMV will not assign a violation point. Q: Will the conviction appear on my driving record? A: Yes, but the violation point will not be added. Q: Will there be a grace period when motorists will only get a warning? A: NO. The law becomes in effect on July 1, 2008. Whether a citation is issued is always at the discretion of the officer based upon his or her determination of the most appropriate remedy for the situation. Q: Are passengers affected by this law? A: No. This law only applies to the person driving a motor vehicle. Q: Do these laws apply to out-of-state drivers whose home states do not have such laws? A: Yes Q: Can I be pulled over by a law enforcement officer for using my handheld wireless telephone? A: YES. A law enforcement officer can pull you over just for this infraction.Q: What if my phone has a push-to-talk feature, can I use that? A: No. The law does provide an exception for those operating a commercial motor truck or truck tractor (excluding pickups), implements of husbandry, farm vehicle or tow truck, to use a two-way radio operated by a “push-to-talk” feature. Q: What other exceptions are there? A: Operators of an authorized emergency vehicle during the course of employment are exempt as are those motorists operating a vehicle on private property DRIVERS 18 AND OVER Drivers 18 and over will be allowed to use a hands-free device to talk on their wireless telephone while driving. The following FAQs apply to those motorists 18 and over. Q: Does the new “hands-free” law prohibit you from dialing a wireless telephone while driving or just talking on it? A: The new law does not prohibit dialing, but drivers are strongly urged not to dial while driving. Q: Will it be legal to use a Blue Tooth or other earpiece? A: Yes, however you cannot have BOTH ears covered. Q: Does the new hands-free law allow you to use the speaker phone function of your wireless telephone while driving? A: Yes. Q: Does the new “hands-free” law allow drivers 18 and over to text page while driving? A: The law does not specifically prohibit that, but an officer can pull over and issue a citation to a driver of any age if, in the officer’s opinion, the driver was distracted and not operating the vehicle safely. Text paging while driving is unsafe at any speed and is strongly discouraged. DRIVERS UNDER 18 Q: Am I allowed to use my wireless telephone hands free? A: NO. Drivers under the age of 18 may not use a wireless telephone, pager, laptop or any other electronic communication or mobile services device to speak or text while driving in any manner, even hands free. EXCEPTION: Permitted in emergency situations to call police, fire or medical authorities. (VC §23124). Q: Why is the law stricter for provisional drivers? A: Statistics show that teen drivers are more likely than older drivers to be involved in crashes because they lack driving experience and tend to take greater risks. Teen drivers are vulnerable to driving distractions such as talking with passengers, eating or drinking, and talking or texting on wireless phones, which increase the chance of getting involved in serious vehicle crashes. Q: Can my parents give me permission to allow me to use my wireless telephone while driving? A: NO. The only exception is an emergency situation that requires you to call a law enforcement agency, a health care provider, the fire department or other emergency agency entity. Q: Does the law apply to me if I’m an emancipated minor? A: Yes. The restriction applies to all licensed drivers who are under the age of 18. Q: If I have my parent(s) or someone age 25 years or older in the car with me, may I use my wireless telephone while driving? A: NO. You may only use your wireless telephone in an emergency situation. Q: Will the restriction appear on my provisional license? A: No Q: May I use the hands-free feature while driving if my car has the feature built in? A: NO. The law prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from using any type of wireless device while driving, except in an emergency situation. Q: Can a law enforcement officer stop me for using my hands-free device while driving? A: No. For drivers under the age of 18, this is considered a SECONDARY violation meaning that a law enforcement officer may cite you for using a hands-free wireless phone if you were pulled over for another violation. However, the prohibition against using a handheld wireless telephone while driving is a PRIMARY violation for which a law enforcement officer can pull you over. ### Edited March 20, 2008 by Em124 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takoush Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 It has been said recently that cell phones affect your cells. Apart from being hazardous to your health when driving; in New Jersey you get $100.00 fine if you ever drive the cell phone without the ear plug regardless you are driving well or not. It's the new law. People rely on it a great deal and it becomes annoying to someone close to you who constantly yaks and you want to hear the chirping of the birds or if you're in a confined area and you can't get away. On the good side: You can instantly call for appointments, check and verify appointments, have your child call you and you can keep track of your child that way. Call 911 when you are in danger or in need. Call loved ones to say hello, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Em Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Takoush jan, when cell phones were not around, we got along just fine. Now it has become an extra appendage. When you leave your phone behind, do you not feel as if some oart of you is missing? I do. But why? And what is the upside of being availabe for everyone 24/7? does it not distract, diminish your attentiveness to the task at hand? Heraxosin geri enq dartsel. Lav chi. Es verjers yes amen zang chem patasxanum. People have to understand that jsut becuase I can be reached at all times, does not mean I can drop everything to have a convo. But I get upset when I call and the other person does not answer. Lava che? All things should be used in moderation and for the appropriate/ necessary reasons : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you leave your phone behind, do you not feel as if some oart of you is missing? I do. But why? Yeah I hear you, and that's what I say to people around me sometimes that we got along just fine without it a decade or two ago. And now if it's missing we want to go back home to get it. Heraxosin geri enq dartsel. Lav chi. Es verjers yes amen zang chem patasxanum. People have to understand that jsut becuase I can be reached at all times, does not mean I can drop everything to have a convo. Ayo, manavant yete oto ge keshes shat vedankavor e. Especially when you're driving and want to reach for that cell, that's when it can become dangerous. But I get upset when I call and the other person does not answer. Lava che? Yeah I know. All things should be used in moderation and for the appropriate/ necessary reasons : ) Yes that's it, Socrates "Moderation is the key".

Zara Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Effects of cellphones? FOR MEN: I heard that it's bad for men to keep them close to the crotch because the radiation reduces sperm count and 'quality'. Front pockets, for example, are too close to the 'area.' FOR PEOPLE IN GENERAL: I saw a woman using her cell once and it had flattened her ear. One side of her face was normal and the other side had a pancaked ear that was twice its normal size. I guess she was pressing the phone too close to her ear all of the time and just flattened it out. I've actually seen this on more than one occasion it's just that hers was the widest and flattest so far. Also, I think cell phones are linked to with insomnia and headaches.

Ani Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 There is a very unnecessary feature on cell phones...When sending text messages, there is an option “Sent to all contacts”…Why would one want to send a text message to all contacts?… Yesterday…I sent a text to my friend…The point was not to engage in a conversation…this headache was killing me…However, I got abused by the modern technology and sent the message to all contacts in my phone… Aneta was the first one to reply… Sorry Anet jan… After I started getting messages I decided to send another text saying “Oops!!!Sorry People!!!” but the replies were so different that I ended up replying to each one of them… I tried to avoid one phone call to my friend…but ended up explaining what’s going on to my aunt (who I talk to only if someone gets born or dies)… plus the embarrassment… Some people laughed…some said “Take Advil”… some didn’t reply thinking “There she goes again”… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Em Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Lol. And some were otherwise engaged (finally took that damn midterm) and thought: I wonder if this part applies to me as well. "Vochmeki haves@ chunem" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feature of send all contacts is useful when you're inviting everyone to an event or announcing big news. Of course, that is if you do that kind of stuff via cellphones. I guess your headache was big news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takoush Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Zara jan, They say that it's better to keep the cell phone a little away from your ear when talking. About guys; If this is true, then I think all the guys should take this into consideration and to be careful where they put their C/Fs.

Sip Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Does anyone have any credible study results regarding things like "don't use your phone near your head while charging" or that "it gives brain cancer"? Or are these just myth's people like to tell each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVO Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 One should look at the number of brain cancer cases, before and after the cell phone became popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
