held cell phone in favor of a
hands-free device.
Allhiser said there's part of him
that views the new law as a
"Nanny State” intrusion into
people's lives. But at the same
time, he said, it's probably a gtxxl
idea for the state to lean on mo
torists to hang up and drive.
"It's like a seat belt. When I
grew up, no one wore them. I
wear one every day now, and
there's no doubt in my mind it
keeps me safer," he said.
Some law enforcement offi
cials are concerned about the
broad wording of the provision
in the law that grants exceptions
for certain drivers. They worry
about officers spending time
pulling over drivers they see
talking on a hand-held cell
phone, only to discover they
were doing so lawfully.
"It won't be a difficult law to
enforce, but there will be cir
cumstances that may need clari
fication," Oregon State Police
Lt. Gregg Hastings said.
A key backer of the law, Sen.
Ginny Burdick, said the exemp
tion was worded broadly as a
compromise to help it win ap
proval. She said the intent is to
offer the exemption to people
whose car is tantamount to be
ing their workplace — such as
sales and delivery workers.
"Just calling-someone at your
office to catch up on gossip is
definitely not what we had in
mind," the Portland Democrat
said.
In 2007, Oregon lawmakers
made it illegal for teenagers
younger than 18 to talk on
cellphones and drive, but the
law said police could ticket
teens only if they had been
stopped for another traffic vio
lation. Local police said that
provision made the law difficult
to enforce.
The new law taking effect in
January would still prohibit
teens from driving and talking,
even on a handsfree set, and
make it a primary offense for
drivers of any age to text or use
a hand-held cell phone.
Marie Dodds, spokeswoman
for Oregon-Idaho AAA, said
the auto club thinks Oregon's
new law is a step in the right
direction. However, Dodds said
she hppes the new law's provi

doesn't give Oregon motorists
a false sense of security.
Evidence shows that using a
hands-free phone while driving
impairs a driver's reaction and
increases crash risk about the
same as if the driver is using a
hand-held phone, Dodds said.
With either type o f phone,
she said, "your mental focus
and concentration are on that
phone conversation, not on
driving."

take a priority over handing out
tickets to motorists talking on
hand-held cell phones.
"If an officer is spending his
whole day running from a bur
glary call to a fight call, then
this law isn't going to get much
attention from him that day," he
said.
Russ Rader of the Insurance
Institute of H ighway Safety

said.
Jay Waterbury, president of
the Oregon Association Chiefs
of Police, said the amount of en
forcement of the new cell phone
ban likely will vary from place
to place.

Salem real estate broker Sylvia
Perry is among those who are
in full support of Oregon's new
cell-phone ban.
She has often used a cell
phone in her car to arrange
house showings and make ap
pointments with appraisers and
inspectors. She had a close call
one day while engaging in one
o f those conversations. The
motorist ahead of her suddenly
hit the brakes, forcing Perry to
slam on hers.
"All of my stuff went sliding
off the seat; my purse was up
side down on the floor and I
was thinking. "That was not
good," because I was on the
phone," she says.
For safety reasons. Perry
says she's been trying to talk
less while driving. She says she
often pulls off the road and
parks if a client or somebody
else wants to have a detailed
phone discussion with her.
