Well then, carry on.
On a more serious note, banning the use of cell phones is just a ploy by the US government to get people to buy Bluetooth headsets because Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid own shares in numerous companies that make Bluetooth headsets.

I have to agree with Azure here. More often than not, there is an underlying motive for the government to meddle in things like this. Take Al Gores' global warming campaign for example.....he will make a kings ransom on this whole carbon trading/taxation thing under the guise of a cleaner environment.
Anyways, I see this texting law as a waste of time/resources. It will be extremely difficult to enforce. Now I don't own a cell phone but I wish people who did practised a little common sense instead of having our government make a stupid law for it.
Maybe an advertising campaign would work, or put cell phone use cautions in driver training material etc........
