    A bill filed last November in the Kentucky General Assembly could make talking on a cell phone while driving against the law.

    House Bill 56 seeks to make using a wireless communication device while driving on a public highway an offense that carries a fine of as much as $100.

    According to the bill, the use of cell phones while driving will be prohibited unless a driver safely moves out of the flow of traffic, exits to a safe area and comes to a complete stop.
