It depends what state you are in.

Not exactly.

What is linked is that it is considered that tlaking on a cell phone
while driving is a distrraction. What the judge has linked to this is
talking on a CB radio is essentially the same kind of distraction.

This does set a precident in that it is the distraction that is at
issue and that whether it is by a cell phone or CB radio or even an
amatuer radio can lead to the same distraction.

What will be an interesting thing is if loud music can be linked into
the same kind of distraction while driving.

This does pose a serious infringement on the use of CB and amatuer
radio units within a car. It can also be said of commercial uses of
the GMRS band as well as public safety and government vehicles.

I would argue with that judge that having 2 kids in the back is ALSO a
distraction, specially if one is dropping half chewed candy down your shirt.
So, should we not drive with kids in the car?
You can get some car manufacturers to help you / sponsor your case perhaps.
