Lawmakers ban on cell phone use while driving

The small list of states that allow either texting while driving or hand-held cellphone use is shrinking after the Arizona House on April 18, overwhelmingly approved a cellphone use ban and sent it to Republican Gov. Doug Ducey for his expected signature.

Arizona, Missouri and Montana had been the only three states that hadn’t banned texting while driving. Arizona will join 16 others that ban all use of hand-held cellphones while driving.
