Let's see, before cellphones was pagers. Before pagers was CB (according to Reba) and payphone. Before payphones.....Probably hardly any cars. Just horse and carriage and pigeons.

there's a very very very strict protocol regarding the use of OnStar. However - there were some cases of thieves stealing car via OnStar.

How? Identity Theft.

But even then OnStar is still a joke. When a vehicle that is equipped with OnStar is stolen, the first thing the thieves do is disable it so it can't be tracked.

wrong ! the car may be on your private domain, but the state or city own the road we drive on! My state has a ban on texting while driving. This is real bad idea wanting to block cells phones as people do use their cell phones to report a drunk driver on the road or an accident , or someone with road rage!
 
Not many teenagers are that smart because they basically just texting while driving.
 
I don't text and drive, period. To me that is like trying to read the Sunday paper while driving and holding a hot cup of coffee. You know it's probably a bad idea and you know people who are going to try it, despite the odds that the outcome won't be pretty.

I disagree. If the cops can enforce seat belts, they can enforce a no phone rule. Or try to. I think hands free legislation is enough, but hey.
