Ways You Might Be Breaking the Law (With Your Tech)
3. Celling and Driving
Yapping on your mobile while you're sitting in a restaurant or riding on the bus can be annoying, but, in many places, it's downright illegal to do it while you're driving. Five states prohibit holding a phone while driving, but they allow wired or wireless headsets. Ten states take the even-more-logical step of banning text-messaging drivers. Check the Governors' Highway Safety Association for the laws where you live. And, please use common sense -- texting-while-driving is dangerous!

Cellphones and driving can be bad!! you can get hurt by hitting another car or a person. All you have to do is just pull over and text or call OR text or call when there's a red light. Be carefull when you drive with cellphones and good luck:)

that is fine... give people tickets for doing that while driving,but you know what kills me is when you go by and see a police officer doing the same thing going down the road. the rules are not for everyone, just for the little people. that is not fair.... what is good for one should be good for all of us...
