This is false info the ban is for teen drivers 18 and under and drivers can only be issued a ticket if their talking on the device was the cause of a driving accident or citation.

Five pieces of legislation have been introduced in the Oregon

Legislature which have the potential to prohibit operating a two-way

radio device while driving an automobile. The three pieces are very

similar in how they are written and seek to expand the prohibition

passed in 2007, which was limited to drivers under the age of 18.

These

bills would expand it to all drivers. Specifically, HB 2377 and SB 319

appear identical, HB 2526 includes a specific fine amount, HB 2038

includes a suspension of their license upon repeat violations, and SB

329 would allow cell phone use if a hands free device is used, like in

Washington. Here is specific information on the current status of each

bill: I checked this prior to doing the video.

I can understand cell phones being illegal to use while driving. They are not designed to be used in cars. They require to much effort to use while driving but CB and ham radios are designed for use while driving and are not as complicated to use. They should continue to be used in cars.

Let's face fact Jer,

The Government is involved with too many things. Doesn't matter who is the President. It matters that they the legislators are thinking of themselves only.

Good Luck, God Bless and Good Night.

2 way radio communications are governed by the fcc not the states.

look into the camera and make it a bit more exiting cause this is boaring

[henrythinks]

Always remember ham radio is regulated by the FCC and has jurisdiction above all state laws. They may regulate the using of it in your car, but they cannot legislate it out of your car. so long as you are a licensed ham

Politicians are ignorant people who we pay and allow to tell us what to do.

OK , I did a search. Ham radio operators are exempt.

[Localmode]

Whatever happened to this proposed law?

[k4eezBrit]

I agree, and i also feel you, its not only Oregon state, but more states are taking on this stupid infraction law, you are right people don't know what they are doing. and there is nothing like shooting your self in the foot.... TWICE!, they need to define Cell phone ops from 2-way radio ops, that is the way to go... 73 brother, enjoyed the video and we all stand strong. De K4eeZ
