Under Alabama law, which of the following statements on cell phone use while driving is FALSE?
Correct answer
- A newly licensed driver under 18 years of age may not use a handheld cell phone.
- An adult driver may talk on a hands-free cell phone.
- An adult driver may talk on a handheld cell phone.
Explanation
Texting while driving is even more likely to cause an accident than driving while drunk. Under Alabama law, while driving, an adult driver may talk on a handheld cell phone but may not read or send text messages or email on it. Seventeen-year-old drivers who have been licensed for less than six months and sixteen-year-old drivers are prohibited from using handheld cell phones. A hands-free, voice-activated phone is safer.
