Live in New Jersey? Planning on driving through New Jersey? Then be aware. As of yesterday it became a primary offense to hold your cell phone and talk or text while driving in New Jersey. That means seeing you using it is now enough to pull you over. If caught you will be issued a $100 fine. It is still legal to use a cell phone to talk provided you are using a hands free device. Prior to this, using your cell phone without a hands free device was a secondary offense so you couldn’t be pulled over just for that reason.
I wish we had a cell phone law like that in Texas. I think so many wrecks could be avoided if people weren’t talking on their cell phones. I try not to talk on my cell phone much while I’m driving, but I still do occasionally if it rings. I should just let the person leave a message on my voice mail instead!

Also you can consider either using a hands free piece or pulling over when it rings.
