I thought it was illegal in the US as well so I checked Wikipedia and found out that it’s not illegal at the federal level but it’s at the state level which means it varies between states. Some make illegal any phone use, except hands free, some only ban texting and internet use and Montana is the only state where it’s not illegal in any way. WTF Montana.
Though from what I see most of the punishment is fines. Where I live it’s a fine and a penalty point on your driver’s license. A point lasts for 3 years and if you get 3 in of them you can’t drive anymore. You then have to take a driver’s exam again to be allowed back on the road.
