Protecting yourself
I have thought about carrying a short range cell phone jammer while biking.
I have given it careful thought. But when traveling as a passenger I increasingly see drivers drifting over into other lanes. They are irresponsible idiots who are a danger to everyone. Andy |

You’re driving while posting on Facebook. Suddenly your phone stops working. Do you: A) immediately put the phone down and pay attention to your surroundings, or B) become oblivious to everything as you try and figure out what’s wrong with your phone. Probably not a good idea in my opinion. |

But when traveling as a passenger I increasingly see drivers drifting over into other lanes. They are irresponsible idiots who are a danger to everyone. It won't work the way you expect. Jamming a cell phone will cause the phone to disconnect unexpectedly. The driver will wonder what happened to their call in progress and begin finger poking at the screen trying to re-establish the call. That's not a great idea while moving. Prior to your jammer being turned on, the driver was minimally distracted. After jamming, the driver became actively engaged in operating the phone and has become seriously distracted. You may think that full time jamming only prevents initiating or receiving phone calls. That might be true if you were moving at the same speed as the traffic. However, there will be many cars passing you on your bicycle, in both directions, some of which might be engaged in a legal hands free phone conversation. Your jammer will disconnect their call in progress, cause them to finger poke at the screen, and probably cause an accident while they are distracted. Also, there are now so a substantial number of cellular bands in use (and growing with every FCC auction). Unless you plan to carry a rather large box on your bicycle, it is unlikely that you can efficiently jam all of them. At best, a simple jammer will take out all the customers of one particular vendor, leaving the other vendors bands unaffected. http://www.gasiajammer.com/sale-8508330-new-all-in-one-16-channels-high-power-desktop-signal-jammer-70-meters-sheilding-range.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMOpxrs53YQ -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

FCC has an unkindly view of pirate transmitters. Somewhere on the net a guy wrote that "back in the day" a driver had a wheel, a gear shift and three pedals and one switch on the floor and had to be at least minimally alert to handle all this. Now with cruise control the drive has only the wheel and this can spend more time on other things like day-dreaming, sleeping or messing about with a hand phone. I wonder whether he may not have been correct? -- cheers, John B. |

Sounds good. But why would a cell phone user have that transmitter? If it was mandatory, some would cover it with a faraday cage or something. Andy |
