It is not hard at all.  If a police officer sees you holding a phone.  You are
distracted and busted, it is that simple.  You do not have to make a moving
traffic violation in front
of the law, therre are other laws are for that.  The law is NO cell phones
being used
by the driver (or something similar).

This is the way that laws are being passed in other states and I am completely
in support
of any laws restricting the use of cell phones in the car.

I have no idea why anyone would argue that using a cell phone would not affect
driving.
It may not affect yours, but it is very clear that MANY people cannot drive
well when using a cell phone.  These laws would protect us from the idiots, not
you, Dan.

Apparently you are one of the very few drivers that is a competant, coordinated

cell phone user that can drive with one hand and  dial with the other, without
ever
looking at the telephone.  However, I bet you eventually you will make a
bonehead manuever, even if you do not admit it.
