I don't know which ones, but I believe in some it is. I think it should be illegal in all states, as should eating while driving. However, I am not the law makers, so there isn't much I can do about it.

I think it is in some. Not all. I honestly don't have a problem with using my phone and driving, expect for texting. That's distracting and dangerous. But it's just like talking to the person sitting next you in the car. If its somewhere where it's easily accessable it's safe for some people who can multitask. I've been doing it for years and I've NEVER been involved in an accident- my fault or someone elses and never gotten a ticket (pulled over once- speeding 5 miles over limit). Youre either a good driver or a bad one. Some ppl can't even listen to the radio and drive. Or chew bubble gum and drive. It doesn't matter if those ppl have cell phones or not, they are going to be dangerous either way. why ruin it for everyone else?

The city of Chicago in Illinois requires that when driving and using a cellphone you use a hands-free device. This is a safety regulation designed to keep both hands free to lower the chance of accidents.

No it is not criminal for a police to be on a cellular telephone on a similar time as applying, yet answer this, are you going to chase them down and tell them ? or merely gripe approximately it ? next time you notice it in case you have a cellular telephone which you would be able to take a photograph with take their photograph. not something a criminal offense announcing you may not. I see thank you to many people complaining rather of doing some thing approximately it. upward push up or close up. colt45 the place did you get that advice from. you're incorrect. dispatch does not use a cellular telephone to make calls to all contraptions on patrol. hassle-free experience.

I don't know about entire states, but in the cities of New York and Chicago it is illegal. Also in many states it is illegal for 16 year olds to use their cell phones while driving.

Yes it is illegal in NY and NJ to use a cellphone while driving. You can use it with a hands free kit though.
The fine is approx $150 for first offense.

I'm not sure about many states, but where Ilive, it is illegal to text message while driving. Recently a young girl was texting and forgot to drive and caused a fatal accident. It's pretty serious!

In KY, the driver is supposed to pull over to the side of the road and talk or use a headset or a hands free device. It isn't usually enforced, but it does give the cop a chance to pull you over if he wants.
