I always understood it to be "using" or "touching" a device. But the following line in the footnotes of the article is interesting :
Quote:

That basically makes any mounted phone, GPS, and even most modern cars with built-in navigation systems illegal.
I just can't believe that would be true.
I'm fine with demerits in general though. The number of people I see still talking on the phone is surprising. Even if they think it is somehow better to put it on speaker phone and hold it in front of their face instead of at their ear.
