According to this, the law only forbids writing, reading or sending a text. Nothing to do with voice transmission of data. And the fine is $100.
My phone goes into text to voice mode when it detects that I am moving at faster than a walk speed. Its essentially the same as taking on the phone and I dont have t even remove it from my shirt pocket to hear it.

How did the driving public ever survive without cell phones in those seventy-odd years?
It also makes me wonder something; automobiles first turned up in appreciable numbers in the early 20th century, and cell phones followed some seventy years later. How did the driving public ever survive without cell phones in those seventy-odd years?
Technology has saved lives probably at least as much as it cost lives. I have been known to text while driving, but now that modern phones have gotten a lot better at voice to text, I rarely ever have to touch my on screen keyboard to send those texts. I have a bluetooth intercom on my helmet that I use while riding my motorcycles.

I'm happy for those of you that can and do live without technology. Some of us, on the other hand, embrace it's usefulness and move forward.
As soon as I see a police officer getting a ticket for their use of cell phones while driving, then maybe I'll be more accepting of me possibly getting a ticket for doing the same.
I wonder how many wrecks will be attributed to people who are trying to hide their texting by holding the phone down in their lap rather than up where they might have some view of the road.
I'm not saying I approve of people driving while distracted, just that I doubt see this law actually doing much positive.
