<human>: I've heard that there are some new laws about the way that people use their cell phones. What are they, and do they affect me?
<bot>: The new laws around cell phone usage are called “cell phone bans”. They’re designed to reduce distractions while driving, and to help prevent car accidents. In general, these laws ban drivers from using their cell phones for texting or calling, except in emergencies. Some states have stricter laws than others, so it’s important to check with your state’s Department of Transportation website to see what the rules are where you live.
