I've heard there are new rules about how long a person can be on a cell phone while driving. What are these new rules?

The new rules state that you cannot use your cell phone for any reason while operating a vehicle, except in cases of an emergency or when using a hands-free device. This includes texting and talking on the phone at the same time. It is also illegal to hold the phone in your hand while driving, even if it's mounted in a cradle.
