New Maryland Cellphone Law  Maryland’s new DWCP (Driving While
on Cell Phone) law starts tomorrow. Here are the details:  1.
What is Maryland’s Cell Phone Law? The new Maryland law will
prohibit all Maryland drivers from using a cell phone without a
hands free device while operating a motor vehicle in motion on a
street or highway. So, apparently, you can still get in a quick
chat at red lights.  2. Are there exceptions? Of course. Cell
phone calls placed to (and from) 9-1-1, ambulance, hospital,
fire, or law enforcement agencies are still permitted. You can
still use your cell phone to place the call although that is
when a lot of distracted-driver car accidents occur.  3. Will
you get pulled over for just talking on a cell phone? No. This
is the part of the law that really lacks teeth much the same way
we began with seat belt laws in Maryland many years ago. The new
Maryland law makes driving while talking on your cell phone a
secondary offense which means you have to get pulled over for
something else firs
