It was recently big news that Virginia passed a new ordinance making texting-while-driving a primary offense, meaning that a police officer could pull you over for that alone. The new law also upped the fine from $20 to $125 for a first offense.

But as the Post reports, the law has a loophole. A loophole so big, in fact, that even the most distracted driver wouldn’t have a problem getting through it:

But the anti-texting measure is all but toothless. Drivers still are allowed to use their hands to make phone calls and get directions using a smartphone’s Global Positioning Satellite capabilities. Any driver eager to avoid the fine and willing to dodge the truth can say he had the device in hand for a legal purpose.

Maryland, on the other hand, has moved to make any use of a phone while driving a primary offense; D.C. has netted roughly $1 million a year from stopping motorists that use their phones while driving.
