Automated Detection and Ticketing of Cell Phone Users while Driving

An Akron, Ohio company called HST or Highway Safety and Technology has developed the technology to detect and (get this) cite drivers using cellular phones while driving! I don't think talking on the phone while driving is exactly appropriate, but if I am using my Blue Tooth I shouldn't get a ticket for it.

"Automated detection of drivers using cell phones is a reality today," says
Michael Rosen, President and CEO of Highway Safety & Technology (HST). "Our
automated detection system will assist communities in enforcing laws which ban
cell phone use while driving and aid in reducing traffic accidents," Rosen adds.
"The safety of drivers, passengers and other motorists is far more important
than the perceived loss of personal privacy and convenience."

Even in municipalities where talking and driving are illegal, you can still make use of your headset legally. Until this fall when they plan to launch this system. Where do you think they will start this program...this company is 10 minutes from my home. So now the state tells me I HAVE TO wear a seat belt or get a ticket, now I won't be able to talk on my phone with my headset without getting an AUTOMATED TICKET, but its still okay to ride motorcycles in Ohio without helmets. OHIO needs to get a grip! I am disgusted. Ugh!
