Something to take note of:
- With the exception of Washington State, these laws are all primary enforcement—an officer may ticket a driver for using a handheld cell phone while driving without any other traffic offense taking place.

Ok so on an aside, does anyone remember the first time they heard the word “bluetooth”? I always remembered thinking that putting something in my ear seemed more difficult than actually holding up the phone. I am looking forward to the enforcement of these laws as I have seen it so many times where I happen to see someone talking on the phone while they casually creep into my lane.
However, I am not looking forward to the uncomfortable eye-to-eye contact I think will happen with members of our law enforcement while they try to determine if you have your bluetooth on. Don’t we all occasionally lean on one hand by our driver’s side window while we are waiting in traffic? I have a feeling that mere gesture could potentially be mistaken for using a cell phone instead of a bluetooth or some version of a voice-activated system. This summer sure is going to be a fun one. Hands-free talking for everyone but the possibility of a constant stare down by the police. What could be better? I guess I better find my bluetooth charger immediately.
Let's make the law entertaining, shall we?
