I doubt it will happen, so put the panic button down...
Even in states that require hands free and/or no texting, it is as prevalent as jay walking in NYC, imo.

The hands free and no texting issue is very hard to enforce; only the stupid or obvious or, unlucky ever get pulled over for it.

I talked on a car phone, from way back in '82, then the larger cell phones...
Do I talk much now? About as often as I change the oil, as I don't need to report in that I'm at Walmart, or on the 17th hole.
Do I think there is a "need" or reason to have cell phones in a car? Sure, but most of the talk is blather, including the "biz" stuff, imo.

Does the average idiot driver, (redundant), drive even worse or less responsibly while chatting up their minutes or texting? Absolfookinlutely.

But, the odds of passing tough laws on this, let alone enforcing them, are about the same bet as me being elected Senator.
