    I didn’t realize there were states without this still… I guess I was wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_cell_phone_use_while_driving_in_the_United_States

      That is out of date. Someone should look up the law in Iowa that just went into effect and update it. I’m too lazy to look up the required details.

    These bans are worthless unless you actually enforce them.
