Mar 06, 2007 -- Virginia bans teens driving with cell phones
The Virginia House of Delegates and the Senate have both passed bills that ban cell phone use by teenagers in a car. That includes hands-free talking and text messaging, as well. The state has seen a number of horrific accidents due to the carelessness of teens on cell phones. Teenagers lack experience behind the wheel, so adding the distraction of a cell phone to the mix makes it even more dangerous for people on the road. If you know that you are not paying attention because youre on a cell phone, rethink using it. We all think we are good drivers and everyone else cant drive. But consider the possibility that youre wrong about that.
