You couldn't be more right. Maryland just passed a strict no cell phone in the car law unless you have hands free. I just saw a cop talking on his cellphone in his car while driving on the way back from the dealership this morning. By the way I don't do much rush hour driving, I'm about a mile from work and I usually walk and leave th ecar in the garage.........my heart was in my throat! Had to be at the dealer at 8 and it was bumper to bumper.
