Looks like the Texas House of Representatives is moving forward on legislation that would ban kids younger than 18 from driving and using a cell phone at the same time - even if it's a hands-free conversation.
Which begs the question: are people over the age of 18 any better at driving while distracted by phone conversations? In my experience: no.

I'd cite a study that shows that hands-free cellphones don't make a difference in distraction, but I'm too lazy to find it.
