New Jersey has a ban on cellphones when driving unless one is using handsfree. That is misleading as well. The reports I have seen indicate that handsfree has only a marginal effect on safety. It has to do with concentrating on the road. I would like to see it a class one offense with loss of driving privileges for any repeats. In my hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan about a year ago, a young woman driving a Hummer H3 and talking on a cell phone drove through a red light and killed a kid and injured his Mother.

I use a bluetooth when I am driving, but I try and not be on the phone at all when driving.
