Of course, should Clause 2 of this bill be repealed, then quite a number of people will have their right to free speech severely curtailed, on account of them being severely maimed or dead. Clause 2 is a common sense measure designed to reduce the likelihood of people utilising mobiles in cars, which, as I can attest to, are extremely distracting and cause people to make needless errors.
I must say, this just seems another one of those poorly thought through 'freederms' bills, where the main argument utilised in support is, you guessed it, 'mah freederms'. Of course, I've always felt that the concept of freedom to be a rather superfluous one is it leads to you crashing your car into another car or ramming it into the side of a tree. We need to keep the roads safe, and this can be done at least partially through the maintenance of a legal code of conduct as shown here.
I would say, however, that Tmthforu's proposal with regards to safety seats is a common sense one, and should be implemented.
