Texting While Driving a Truck or Bus Illegal - C.W. McCall Convoy Song Needs an Update

Handling a portable electronic device while behind the wheel of a car with a running motor is illegal where I live. This means, if I understand the law correctly, that you can’t even use your cell phone when parked on the side of the road if the motor is still running. Portable electronic devices are limited to cell phones in the law here. It also includes portable game devices and notebook computers. Despite this, I see people using holding phones to their ears as they drive all the time.
