IF, you are single responding, then it is obviously different. I'm saying that down here we have a PTT foot button and can use the radio. If that digital radio technology isn't available, why can't handsfree bluetooth be used? I'm not saying that mobile phones are not necessary, i'm advocating that it is unsafe to use while driving unless using handsfree no matter how much experience a person has. I'm saying handsfree should be introduced into each single responder ambulance/police car etc. It is not expensive tech.

Have you read any of my remarks regarding the cost? Let me spell it out.
Lets conservatively say our service has 2000 vehicles (probably a lot more but that will do), each of which has to be provided with a phone and phone service. That phone and service would cost for arguments sake $1000 per year. Now add onto that the cost of a hands free kit which I just found one for $300 installed. Now you are up to $1300 per vehicle for the initial upgrade, ongoing costs remain every year after that.
So the whole exercise now costs the service $2.6m. I am sorry but that is not inexpensive.
