Texting while driving is already illegal in Minnesota. Is it legal in Illinois? What else can we do except make it illegal everywhere? By the way, I do not like Kev's idea (above). If I'm a passenger I better be able to use my phone or tablet and ALL of its functionality. Making the thing not work at speeds over 8 mph is purely ludicrous
