    Ticket for me-25 dollars and no impact on record.

    BT headset- Meh. They break to fast.

    Wired Headset- Meh even more since it hurts my ears.

    I haven't seen anybody yackin' away on a cell phone since the new law went into effect. At least to me it seems like everybody went hands-free pretty quickly. (I went hands-free years ago, because I drove a shift, and there was just no way I could handle the shift and the phone AND the steering wheel.)

    I have a friend that can eat, talk, and drive at the same time. You just have to use your legs for turning.

    Id share the stories of what I have done while driving, but I do not think it would be appropriate for a G rated forum :p

    So, hands free is not bad but people still get caught up in talking so its not going to fully fix the issue of people crashing because they are pre-occupied.

    I pretty much refuse to to use my phone unless I am stopped at a light.

    Mythbusters said driving while talking on the phone had the same effect on impairing driving as being drunk did.

    lol. My subs are 1800watts max power....used to have a 2450watt amp in the mix, but I went through about 3 of em :p(subs to powerful?).

    My ears used to ring after about 15mins with my previous set up.

    Though sadly I downgraded to a 1000watt amp, and now the ringing has subsided.

    :p
