That wouldnt help the near fatal miss I witnessed yesterday on Torbay Road at suppertime, where I assume an employee of The Telegram (becasue he was driving the marked truck) was at a dead stop in the middle of the lane (on a four lane throughfare) on the phone. No emergency lights, no signal lights and not even pulled in. When the hands- free laws came into effect, there should have been some extra education in commmon sense. I counted three cars that nearly hit that guy into next week. Not to mention the harzard it caused the other drivers with quick lane changes to avoid rear ending this 'safety consious" indvidual. Funny thing is-he is none the wiser
