"This page lists those countries that have banned the use of a cell
phone when driving unless used with some form of hands-free kit."
So that's a pretty useless page.
It's the conversation and the dialing that is the distraction, not
driving with one hand.
In the US, I think only California will have a law totally banning them
while driving. Watching TV while driving has been illegal forever (the
TV was legal, but it had to be placed so that the driver couldn't
watch), but I've noticed a few drivers have installed TV's where they
can see them anyway.
