text: Driving with a phone is not okay unless it's being used as a navigation tool. Texting and driving isn't something that should be common it's a distraction . Calling is okay if its hands free calling and you can still stay focused on the road and talk at the same time. Things will not change teens are still going to disobey what the law says and drive with their phones in hand without a care in the world unless the law enforcement cracks down on it.
