I've always been concerned when I see the signs on the side of the road alerting drivers, "Blasting Zone - turn off all cell phones & two-way radios"



I mean, these poor bastards are putting their asses on the line & trusting that some Type-A Asshole-in-a-business-suit is gonna turn off his cell? The same that has the phone up to his f'in' ear while he zooms across 3 lanes of traffic at 70mph in front of me because he almost missed the stinkin' exit?!?

disclaimer: I have to drive with both a cell & a Nextel 2-way in the course of my job, & I do make every effort to pull over when possible...but I have an idea about how radio communications work, & I'm thinking that even if I turn my phone & radio off, there's still radio signals bouncing off the towers whether I'm receiving them or not...
