Funny as it is, according to some of the comments he actually had had his license reinstated and the issue were with the court system not having updated documents.
Regardless though, wouldn't that count as distracted driving? Or is that not against the law in the states?
Can’t you talk on the phone as long as it’s hands free?
How is it any different than talking to a passenger.
I know in California, any activity that is distracting away lots of attention of the driver from driving, even if the activity is legal, normal, eating, fun, a minor emergency, etc... is considered a Moving Violation ticket.
Figuring out devices, heated phone calls (hands-free included), BJ's, applying make-up, eating, air drumming or head banging to music, passenger tantrums, looking at an accident or garage sale or other spectacle, reading, etc.
edit:
Your last question...If for some reason a driver cannot handle a normal conversation during driving then it's a hazard.
Some of those examples are insane if people do that:
Are just crazy things to do.
A minor emergency, can’t really be helped. You should pull over as soon as it occurs.
Interesting they California is ticketing for some of these though, thanks for sharing.
