I think the law over here is that if you're caught using anything other than a hands-free phone whilst driving, you get a fine of £60 ($119), and three points on your licence.
You can also get the fine and points if you don't have proper control of the vehicle whilst using a hands-free phone, and the police see you driving poorly.
That's being stereotypical, though. Not every guy drives fast. I have a buddy that drives like an old granny. They shouldn't look at it in a "guy vs. girls" perspective. Just look at the individual and judge them from there. The system is shit.
Just about every system in America is shit.
It is being stereotypical. That's how the insurance industry looks at things ...statistics. I'm not saying ALL guys drive fast. But I'm saying from everything I've seen a guy is more likely to speed than a woman.
The tests show that accidents that happen due to someone being on their cell phone is because they were focused on the conversation, not because they were driving with one hand.
It's not illegal in Texas, though some cities have ordinances against it. You can't talk on a non-hands free phone while driving in Dallas, for instance.

haha, i am the MASTER at text driving. anways, my insurance is 350 a month . And yay for your car. my first car was an 85 maxima :P
Texting while driving is realllllly dumb =P. Sorry. My friend did it once when I was riding with him and if I hadn't been he would have had an accident due to a car coming into the tunnel (wide enough for one car) at the same time as he was heading for it.
It only takes one mistake to put you in jail for many years for manslaughter. If you hit a person or injured one while doing that bullshit the "lol I was texting" excuse won't go too far in front of the jury =P.
. And yay for your car. my first car was an 85 maxima :P
