Am sorry but I fail to see the logic in the MV Act. We do have such acts passed without much scientific evidence.
I also dont see the logic of the fello passenger being able to see the traffic, shuts up. Tell me, how many friends/wives shut up on seeing the traffic?

And it is legal in western countries to have car phone installed and no one ever complained or there is any scientific evidence to point otherwise.
I use Jabra blue tooth headset always in the car and found it very useful. In fact I have taken telephonic interviews while driving too. My boss calls me while driving to work because he has an hour long drive and makes the best use of it to do all teleconferences.
BTW, I never got caught for this in Bangalore in the last two years of my driving. Is Bangalore police selective in applying the rules or I am just plain lucky?
