People you have to remember that they are not fully banning cellphones... They 
are banning cellphone usage without hands free. A CB works more like a 
speakerphone or PTT like the annoying Nextels. They do not want someone on the 
phone with one hand on the steering wheel the other on the phone pressed 
against their ear and not paying attention to the sides of their car... Pretty 
hard to constantly look at your sides if you have a cellphone pressed against 
your head.

Not saying that I agree with the proposed cellphone ban moving everyone to 
hands free. In NJ, the state recently follwed NY's lead and now requires 
drivers to use a Hands Free set. Again, as I do not necessarily agree with the 
proposed / enacted laws, I must admit from the lame lawmakers point of view, 
that using a cellphone while driving does indeed impair your driving slightly 
more than driving reagularly. I have seen plenty of people not paying 
attention to the road while jabbering away on their cellphones. Hmmm... maybe 
they should stop the cellphone laws they propose and allow other drivers to 
beat the living crap out of the stupid drivers that crap up the road while on 
their cellphones. hehe :-p.
