I always wear my seat belt, and I make my passengers do the same. In Illinois a police officer can pull a driver over and issue a ticket for no seat belt use by driver and/or passenger(s) even if no other law is broken. Can police officers do the same in Florida?

What are the laws in FL regarding talking on a cell phone while driving -- can police officers issue a ticket for that? I don't mean driving while using a hands free device -- I mean phone up to your ear while driving. I don't talk on my cell phone while driving as I don't think it is safe --even driving while using a hands free cell phone device is too distracting for me. In Illinois every city is different regarding talking on a cell phone while driving. In the City of Chicago -- no talking on cell phone while driving, or you can get a ticket -- I'm not sure if that includes hands free devices or not. There are a few Chicago suburbs that have passed similar laws about talking on cell phones while driving.
