As of January 1 this year it has a mass return to listening to our own radio stations inside our automobiles. Our government passed a law prohibiting the usage of hand-held devices while driving. That's right, we have our own cell phone ban. It turns out though that most of us in BC will have an one-month grace period until police officers issue tickets.

I guess the one-month grace period is designed to give us 30 days to put into practice the art of driving without being on the phone. It seems to me the timing of this new law is great (though if it could have prevented car accidents from the past it is too bad it took this long) because of the incidence of internet on our phones. Not only do we talk on our phones, we could do anything digital on our phones.
