Georgia does, starts July 1, but probably because of texting. Good start. Imagine some poor bimbo actually having to speak words. The horror.

I'm not sure honesty, I can be on the radio just fine.
That said , I don't get involved in conversations on the radio though.
Its mostly:
One in the middle at the 140
Or watch out west bound car fire on the shoulder mile an a half ahead of ya ect. ect.mustang190 and Trucking in Tennessee Thank this. -
I don’t own one yet which is why I’m asking.
Like walking and chewing gum is the way I see it. -
I don’t talk on the phone hardly except to the customer and that’s if I never been there and have questions.
I text and talk on the phone when needed on my car. Same reasons as you.
If my wife calls it’s an emergency.
I call her when I park for the night.
Apple using Siri is completely hands free.
My Chevy uses the speakers and the mic on the rear view mirror.
I can do both safely and have but only when needed.
I’m an older guy I don’t need to be connected like some younger fellas. -
It makes me chuckle the people that walk around 24/7 with their headsets. Like dude you really make that many phone calls that you need your headset on to go get a fuel receipt?
Fuelinmyveins, adayrider, mustang190 and 3 others Thank this. -
I see people doing that too
Some are talking but most aren’t, couldn’t stand that against my ear all the time -
I agree with you.
I won't invest in a headset. Everyone I know, knows that I will not answer my phone or a text while driving. They know to leave me a message and I will return their call when I stop. I even silence my ringer while driving. I've been out here 26+ years accident and violation free and I intent to keep it that way. Call me what you want, but it's my choice, as it is other people's choice to talk on the phone while driving. I believe that the only thing anyone should be doing while driving any vehicle is paying attention to the road & what's happening around them. -
another vote for mpow - cheap and works great. only on my head when im talking on it which is very little - use one around the house as well -

I disagree. How is having a conversation through the phone more distracting that conversing with a passenger. Do you think vehicles should be limited to single occupancy? Maybe ban radios?
Anyways I just pair my phone to the radio headunit and talk through the built-in mic and speakers.joshuapowell61 and BazookaJoe Thank this.
