California’s idiotic law doesn’t care if you are using a cell-phone (though I agree it’s one of MANY distracting things you can do while driving) It’s only concerned with whether or not you are HOLDING a cellphone.
Several states have the hand helt cell phone law, the truck driver that ran over and killed all the amish people in ky last year was talking on a head set and had a history of the same. Wrong thing to do. Anyone caught texting and driving should be dragged off the road and shot. http://www.louisvilleaccidentsblog.com/2011/09/kentucky-crash-cited-in-call-to-ban-cell-phone-use-in-trucks.shtml
