ANNAPOLIS – While texting and driving has been banned in Maryland for more than a year, a group of lawmakers want to allow police to pull over and cite motorists for any kind of cellphone use.

It is currently illegal to use a cellphone while behind the wheel in Maryland, but doing so is only a secondary offense. That means a law enforcement officer can issue a citation only if a driver is pulled over for some other reason and found to have been using a phone.
