  use while
driving is common, but
dangerous. Due to the
number of accidents that are
related to cell phone use
while driving, some
jurisdictions have made the
use of a cell phone while
driving illegal. Others have
enacted laws to ban
handheld mobile phone use,
but allow use of a hands free
device. In some cases
restrictions are only directed
to minors or those who are
newly qualified license
holders.
