This certainly could hamper "Single Op--No Driver" category! But I presume
that
others in the mobile categories would not be inhibited.
Interesting that you said "ban on the use....while driving". Wonder if
handfree
with a Blue tooth device would be allowed.
Ft Rucker in Ozark, AL has made it illegal to use a cell phone while driving!
As
far as I know they will allow handfree operation.
Interesting to see how this will work out... If GA does this, I am sure that
many
of the other states will follow.
