Can you talk on the phone while driving in Iowa?

I just moved to Iowa, and I’ve noticed that I see a lot of people using their cell phones when they’re driving around. Isn’t it illegal to talk on the phone while driving in Iowa?

You cannot talk on your phone while driving in
Iowa
unless you’re using hands-free features.
If you’re caught talking on the phone without using these features, you’ll be breaking Iowa’s
distracted driving laws
, and you’ll receive a $45 fine.
While $45 might not seem like much, the costs associated with it can add up quickly—especially if it causes your insurance premium to go up (like most tickets do). Luckily,
