No Texting or Gaming While Driving in Honolulu

Quote:

Hawai'i and Alaska are the only states that do not prohibit the use of a cell phone while driving without a hands-free device, according to Honolulu police.

I'd think it would be hard to enforce because the cop would have little to no proof that the person was texting vs. making a phone call (unless the person in the car is foolish enough to leave the screen on the text message itself, which I'm sure will happen at some point, along with 'scuse me officer, let me just finish this text and I'll be right with you').

It seems a little backwards to me that they'd make texting illegal before the use of a cell phone without a hands-free device. If both laws were in place, a cop sees a phone out in a driver's hand and that'd be all he'd need.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
