I like this one

Q: Does the new “hands-free” law allow drivers 18 and over to text page(?) while driving?
A: The law does not specifically prohibit that, but an officer can pull over and issue a citation to a driver of any age if, in the officer’s opinion, the driver was distracted and not operating the vehicle safely. Text paging(?) while driving is unsafe at any speed and is strongly discouraged


Who's the idiot that is out there texting while driving? Nevermind, the text probably is interrupting the dvd he's playing

I see so many girls txting while driving, or typing in a phone number. Its so annoying. I wish they had made texting on the phone against the law to do.

Also they, DMV, be out in unmarked cars grading the elderly on how they drive.

Don't worry about elders - 1/2 of the idiots on THIS SITE have wrecked, and most of them are "kids"

eh i could careless about this new law being enforced because people will always be texting or talking on the phone and it all depends on the cop right to you if he is chill or strict. i don't like talking on the phone while driving so i just ignore the calls cause if they aren't important than why pick up and talk about

I know officers from diff agencies and they have different versions of this "new law". The enforcing just depends on the officer and how bored they are to go after someone for this. Unless there are some obvious violations being made, you won’t get stopped.

Hands free devices don't make phone talkers safer drivers. I try to avoid the phone talkers and texters. I text while in the car but only while at a stop light. The predictive text feature isn't easy to navigate on a touch screen (which I could use without looking and yes I drive with 1 hand usually anyway).

This is supposed to help with traffic, as they say phone talkers slow down traffic... I doubt there will be much difference.
