However, one clearly does need to dial a phone number; even to activate bluetooth (unless all phones are standard with voice dialing; and there's no mandatory fee for such use). However, my comment was to address the original message; whereas, "So, some form of text input is apparently safe, but not others." The state of CA is not stating which portion (if any) of dialing; nor any time to dial; or place; is safe... rather that it is "permitted" and not a violation of the statute. To imply the state left it out to mean that dialing is evaluated to be safe is a misconception that will lead to overconfidence, injury, or legal trouble.

Driver's distraction is one of the common causes of car accidents. Using cell phone in any way while driving is certainly a distraction. It’s good to have implemented this law.
