Illegal or not, it's apparent to me that using a smartphone while driving is very prevalent these days and laws aren't making people put them down. I spent about 8 hours on I-95 North yesterday, through 4 states, driving a pickup truck that sits high enough to see into most passing vehicles. I saw an alarming number of people, of all ages, driving while staring at a phone using at least 1 hand, and sometimes 2. Most of these people were passing me on the left going significantly faster than the 74mph I had my cruise control set at.
