Sorry for bumping a somewhat old thread. I don't think you can even check a text msg at a red light under this law?
But what I really wanted to know was that some friends told me you can't even pull over to the side of the road (when it's okay to do so) to check your phone or make a phone call. Is this true?

| http://www.news1130.com/news/local/a...nt-to-consider VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Just because you have a hands-free kit for your cell phone, does not mean you are safe from a ticket. We're looking at the fine print of the new law.
You've got the blue tooth headset, so you think you've got things covered - but you're wrong. You need to make sure it is all set up before you even turn on the ignition, no scrambling once someone calls. If you wear a headset, it can only be in one ear, unless you're on a motorcycle.
Think of that phone as a hot potato, no holding it or leaving it in your lap. Find a secure holder instead. To answer the call it has to be voice-activated or one-touch. Thinking of firing off a quick text message or email? Don't. That's against the law.
It's not just cell phones affected. No touching that mp3 player or mobile device once the car is running and all music has to play through your speaker system.
If you are a new driver or learner, don't bother bringing any electronics into the car at all.

My friend got pulled over for talking on his cell phone but got a ticket for something else instead (fail to produce DL) and was told "he was lucky that he didn't get written up for the new law" as well.

That includes cars with built in GPS, raido, mp3, ipods, Etc etc... just so you know to be fair.

loving the new law, saw a few people get pulled over already, if people arent taking this seriously, they will when they get their ticket and their points on their DL 
Cops can hit their quotas so easily now. I bet they could pull over atleast 20 people within an hour. I feel for all the N drivers though because you should be able to use a hands free but I guess this is their way to ensure that by the time you finally get your full license that you've been a safe driver
