What Does the California Cell Phone Driving Law Mean to Teen Drivers?
The new California law requiring the use of hands free headsets applies differently to drivers under 18. If you are driving in California and are under 18 years old, you CANNOT talk on a cell phone while driving, even with a hands free device. This includes cell phones, pagers, laptops or other mobile devices used to speak or text.
Statistics show that teen drivers are much more likely than than more experience drivers to be involved in crashes, and the cell phone provides yet another distraction to keep teen drivers minds off the task of driving. Those under 18 tend to text message more than most other age groups and as such are banned from doing so while driving.
No one can give you permission to use a cell phone while driving if you are under 18, even your parents. Even if your car has a built in hands free device, it is ILLEGAL for drivers under 18 to use it.
Don’t let yourself get caught while driving and talking under 18, its a good way to get yourself pulled over and in trouble you dont need. When you turn 18, make sure you pick up a hands free headset to ensure you still follow the law and avoid having your day ruined.
