Although I always felt that the only thing that made "two way radio"
exempt
from the regs was that the police and ambulance guys would then be unable
to
use their radios without a second operator.

I wonder if they have thought of that in the US?

Definitely. In all the existing and proposed legislation, there are
specific exemptions for public safety and emergency personnel.

Here in the Netherlands holding and using a cellular phone is prohibited
while
driving a motorvehicle.
So, while at a traffic light: no problem( but beware if teh light turns
green! ).
Holding anything BUT a cellular phone( coffee, sandwiches, rasor, mike,
etc.):
again no problem.

No exemptions: just a very simple law ( enforced by a $150,- fine ).
