Who else saw the TSX featured on Ch. 7 News!

hehe
came home and turned on the tv to see a a reporter on ch. 7 news talking about how the new laws about handsfree cell phones wont do anything according to a new study that proves that drivers lack of attention is what is causing those accidents

and riiight after that... they showed a clip of someone backing out of a parking spot in a TSX using the handsfree

i was so proud

anyone else see this?

That TSX had aftermarket rims on it...maybe they're on here. ;-P

Now...the TSX commercial I saw on channel 51 (TNT) is the one I want to see (I only saw the very end), but there are more interesting stuff on other channels...

I've read some of those studies. Several of them are linked off the Car Talk guys' web site.

Seems that having a conversation reduces reaction time and memory retention, to roughly the level of a driver with a BAC of 0.08%. Scary.

Still, I prefer my HandsFreeLink. I can answer, pull over, and have a conversation. Or ... call Jason's Deli, order take-out, and it's ready when I pull in.
