text: Furthermore, in Georgia, laws have been made prohibiting the use of cellphones while driving a vehicle. It is illegal to hold a cellphone in your hand or on any part of your body and if violators get caught, you will have to pay a large fine. The law should be enough to stop people from driving and using their cellphones, but it's not. On the news, in Cobb County, the police dresses up as utility workers at various intersections to catch violators using their phones and most of the time they catch a lot of drivers and give out traffic citations.
