"A driver can listen to music stored on their cell phone or electronic device, but they would be barred from using online radio programs such as Spotify or Pandora in their vehicle."
I know a new rental car I had 2 months ago had the option to use those apps from the phone so they are going to need to update that to allow their usage if of course the law is entirely banning their usage.

Yet nothing to stop the 30,000 firearm deaths (almost equal to traffic deaths) that have become business as usual in the USA.

No licensing, no registration, no required training, no restrictions on these tools of destruction.

medical emergency, or hazardous road condition. Yes to while lawfully parked (not stopped as at lights).

No to use of prohibited devices with any part of the body, so no loophole for texting with toes, and also no to moving from normal driving position, so no leaning over to pick the phone up from the floor.

Sounds sensible. Penalty for first offense only $50, don't know about second. But tougher penalties were stripped to get it passed.

WORKER EFFECT: We're rural now, retired and semiretired, so I didn't really clue to the fact that these days many of the people making long commutes to and from workplaces are working intensively as they drive via their phones. I imagine most are not paid for their additional productivity that technology has made possible to get out of them. Lessened worker productivity while commuting was an argument against passage. Having hands-free technology is obviously going to become a requirement for many jobs. I'm guessing the insurers of many companies already require it for some of the drivers they cover.

I hope the article is mistaken. That's all I listen to. Modern cars allows for Bluetooth control of the music player controls, like fast forward, etc. The app is controllable through car buttons on steering wheel, etc. This sounds like a huge gotcha game.
