OKLAHOMA CITY -- A bill has been introduced in the Oklahoma Legislature that could forbid drivers from using cell phones.
Investigators said distracted driving associated with cell phone usage led to about 800 crashes in 2005, officials said.
"The public, I think, ultimately will appreciate a safer environment on the roads," said state Sen. Constance Johnson, who filed the bill.
Johnson's bill would allow drivers to use a hands-free phone, and it would make exceptions for emergencies.
