EXEMPTIONS * Canada - Manitoba cell ban includes trucker ones
Sask considers law too
Winnipeg,MAN,Canada -Today's Trucking -8 Sept2009: -- Manitoba legislators have accepted appeals by the trucking industry to make the provincial ban on cell phone use and texting more flexible for truck drivers... According to industry reports, the Manitoba Trucking Association convinced regulators to exempt CB radios and certain communication devices used specifically by drivers for dispatch and business-related purposes... Manitoba passed a law banning hand-held cell phones and similar communication devices in June. While the law won't be strictly enforced until next summer, police will still issue fines to anyone driving unsafely while using a cell phone... (Picture from QLine trucking: Canadian Bulk Hauling)
