Texting and Driving
Cell phones are the biggest dis-
tractions drivers face. It’s a good
idea to turn your cell phone off
and put it away. The safest
choice – safely pull over and park
before using your phone.
It’s illegal to use, hold, view or
manipulate a hand-held cell
phone while driving. If you’re an
experienced driver, meaning
you’re not in the Graduated
Driver Licensing (GDL) program
or Motorcycle GDL program, you
can use a hands-free device if it
can be activated with voice com-
mands or 1-touch, and is
mounted on the dashboard, visor
in a cradle. New drivers can’t
use hands-free devices at all.
