Dear GYA, There seems to be a lot of questions surrounding the new law regarding cellphone use while driving. But I assure you that this legislation is pretty darn straight forward. Basically, you can still talk on your mobile device. However, you can no longer manipulate your phone, this includes texting, tapping, handling, diddling, fingering, rubbing and stroking your phone. Keep in mind, drivers can still kneed, fondle, caress, kiss, nudge and palpitate their mobile devices.--- Anything happening this weekend more cut and dry than Utah's new cellphone laws? - Chief Chris Burbank, SLCPD
