Is it illegal to ride/drive while talking on a handheld cellphone in KY? It's not illegal here.

Yes it is! Hands-free only. You don’t need a helmet here, but no talking on your handheld!

It sure is here, but judging by the flagrant use/texting of phones while driving, you would think the opposite was true.

One of our student co-ops at work was driving in Canada for business, using Google Maps. She was fined CDN $250!

Yeah, that seems absurd.

The only thing I can think of is she was touching the device, or it was not configured to connect to the vehicle's heads-up display (or dash) which meant she had to look down at it.

That's exactly what happened. Y'all harsh up nawth.

I think I took a pic of a Harley rider talking on a cell phone while rolling down the road not too long ago. Maybe I can find it.

Inquiring minds want to know...
