I thought using a cell phone while driving was illegal in IL. I am not sure, but I think it is.

I’m not positive about this, but I think the law is just Chicago, and it’s not illegal to use a cell phone if you’re “hands free”.

And on double checking, it’s illegal for kids under 18 to use a cell phone while driving in Illinois [link](http://www.dot.state.il.us/press/cellban.html)
