I saw this on the news last night and was very amazed!  The news reporters could find no local publicity regarding the no phones in school and construction zones, yet it has been in effect for some time here.

Quote:New laws ban motorists from sending  text based messages while driving, and make it illegal to talk on a cell phone without a hands free device while driving through a highway construction zone or school zone.

Futher more, it is illegal to compose, send or read text messages, instant messages and e-mail on a cell phone or surf the internet while driving. The ban also includes personal digital assistants and portable or mobile computers, but does not include global positioning systems (GPS) or navigation systems.

For some time now, in Washington cell phone activity without hands free systems has been illegal & also a primary offense. meaning that wee can get pulled over just for talking on a phone.

It use to be a secondary offense, so they couldn't pull you over just for that reason alone, but maybe a year ago or more, it has been a primary offense.  For us this is irrelevant of construction/school zones...
In Germany this law exists for ages on all roads as far as I know.
Yeah, it's been implemented in Canada here as well :P

but i don't disagree with it really, people shouldn't be screwing around with their cellphones while driving
