Cell phone use may be banned around emergency scenes

SPRINGFIELD - See those flashing lights up ahead? Put down that phone! 

That's what police could be ticketing soon, if Governor Quinn signs into law a cell phone ban within 500 feet of an emergency scene.  And don't even think about messaging photos or videos while you're driving.

The House supported HB 5099 38 to 17 and the House concurred, 84 to 30.
