Holy shit...do other states not have this already? We passed this like 15 years ago...and that was before driving turned into night of the living dead meets 2Fast.

Many states did, but many passed them as "secondary offenses" so you you could only be pulled over for something else that's a primary offense and then the police could ticket you for phone use

Now many states are going back and passing laws that make it a primary offense
