Canada to outlaw iPods in the car for youngsters?

Grant Robertson at The Digital Music Weblog (a sister blog) has dug up details on a move from the Canadian Automobile A ociation to pre ure provincial governments in Canada to ban younger drivers from using electronic devices, such as mobile phones and MP3 players, in the car, eh. While some think they have their song switching skillz down pat while juggling a Big Gul trade; and steering with their knee, Grant also cites a study released in April 2006 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that states "the many forms of distractio are collectively re o ible for as many as eight out of every ten crashes" (do y'all even have 711's and 'Big Gul ' in Canada? If not, co ider yourselves lucky).

Check out Grant's post on the i ue covering more on this sudden iPod-hating from Canada (we kid). But if the thought of not being able to cart your tunes with you is too much to bear, you might also need to start checking up on those fancy iPod-integration kits that let you control your iPod from your steering wheel.
