For what it's worth. In Minnesota it's illegal to talk on the cell phone while driving if you are under the age of 18. And I think soon it will pass that the law applies to all ages.

California, New York, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia have all made it illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving. Arkansas is currently trying to get the law to ban cell phone use while driving, passed. In total, 40 states have proposed a ban of cell phone use in a moving vehicle, but only the ones listed above have passed the law. In Canada, only one province (Ontario) has proposed a law to ban cell phone use while driving. 28 countries have made it completely illegal to use a cell phone while driving.

I don't know about other states, but it is illegal in Texas, although it is not very strictly enforced. I can say I've never heard of someone being pulled over because they were driving while talking. Although, in some cases, it might not be a bad idea with some of the stuff I have seen on the road!

In Minnesota, it is only illegal for anyone under 18 to be doing it.

I believe the law went national a couple of years ago. At least out west you can't unless you use a hands free device
