I say treat this law like you would treat the seatbelt law, or speeding. It's not 100% enforcable as the cops can't monitor people all the time. But if you use your cell while driving, you run the risk of getting a ticket. All the talk about less risk during certain situations is useless IMO. You can apply those same arguments to speeding, but it doesn't make it less illegal.
