Well it looks like it's happened. A 29 year-old Sarnia woman was charged for smoking while having 5 kids in her van; she was caught at a R.I.D.E checkpoint. Apparently there were also child restraint violations spotted as well during the check.

Also, looks like the DTV transition is one step closer to being pushed back to June 12th. It's a move that will cost US tax payers and companies both broadcasting and waiting for the availability of that signal spectrum, millions of dollars. More likely the result of the combination of the procrastination of many, and the ignorance of Obama to want to push it back. It's such a bad idea for wasting money in the current economical situation.
And one last thing, apparently they've come out with a bluetooth key that, puts the cell phone in a "driving" mode, responding to call and text messages that the person is currently driving and will respond later. It seems it'll also not allow the driver to use a hand-free device, which they say does nothing to make things safer. Although I personally disagree, I do and can see people concentrating more on the conversation rather than driving; where their eyes and motorskills stop functioning when talking and listening.
