ORS 811.507 seems to indicate that an adult with an amateur radio license could legally use a laptop while driving, as long as it was used solely to control an amateur radio station. Obviously this is a very bad idea and nobody should do this, but is it technically legal? If it isn't illegal as distracted driving, would it be reckless driving? I would be very surprised if this was legal, but I don't see any law that would prohibit it.

No

But they would not be guilty of breaking that particular law.

However, I’m sure Oregon has laws against negligent and reckless driving. This is both.
