You're not allowed to drive and text or talk on a mobile phone unless it's handsfree over here. The cops can and do pull people over and book them.

I support this move because I know it's distracting when you're on the phone and driving. I don't care how good you are at driving, if you're talking on the phone and you get into a situation, you firstly can't have instant control of your vehicle with both hands, and secondly, you wont notice as much because you're always going to block part of your periferal vision if you've got a phone pressed to your ear.

I'm glad we have these laws, but it still doesn't stop some people.
