Army enacts car cell phone ban

According to the StarBulletin, the army has banned the use of cell phones by drivers at all of its Hawaii bases, a policy that includes headsets and hands-free devices.

"It's a policy that state lawmakers shied away from adopting this past legislative session.

... The policy applies to military personnel as well as to civilians, visitors and contractors who are allowed to drive on Army posts. Under the Army policy, violators will lose their driving privileges."
