There is no doubt to any reasonable person that using a cellphone while driving endangers everyone in your vehicle & and in every vehicle on the road with you. If & when a ban is passed it won't be enforced and the problem won't be with officers lacking the information to enforce a ban, but on law enforcers willingness to do the work to enforce it. I counted twenty plus cars driving up Market Street, between Midlothian & 224, with their windsheild wipers running in the rain & their headlights off. All of these cars past the same Boardman Police & the State Highway Patrol vehicles I passed & a not a single one was pulled over & ticketed. Until citizens start filing Dereliction of Duty complaints with the police departments, officers will continue to enforce laws if & when they think they should.
Opinions vary on cell-phone use in the car
