Are you allowed to use your phone as long as there isn't no oncoming traffic?

Answer 1

No, at least in California you are not. Using a cell in the car is illegal in most states oncoming traffic or not. A hands free blue tooth system is ok, but holding the phone is not. Check your state laws.

Answer 2

No, you should never use your phone while driving period. Legally it depends on the state, since some have outlawed texting and some have outlawed using the phone entirely. Either way, though, it's very unsafe to use your phone at all when driving, because there are other things that can go wrong even if there's no oncoming traffic. You could run into a telephone pole or off the road into a ditch, for example.

Answer 3

NO

It takes time and practice to learn how

to be a good driver. This Parent-Teen

Driving Guide is a tool to help parents

observe and instruct their teen drivers

during the instruction permit phase of

licensing. Teens must log a minimum

50 hours of practice driving, including

10 hours at night, with their parents or

a responsible adult age 21 or older before obtaining a driver's

license.

This booklet also outlines the provisions of Illinois' Graduated Driver

Licensing (GDL) Program, which has become a national model for

teen driver safety. The GDL program increases driving privileges for

safe and responsible drivers in stages, while identifying those drivers

who display dangerous or reckless driving habits. Safe teen

drivers will gradually see their driving restrictions ease as they

move from one licensing phase to the next.

Distracted driving continues to be a serious hazard on Illinois' roadways,

especially with regard to young drivers. Cell phone use is prohibited

for drivers under age 19, and texting while driving is prohibited

for all drivers regardless of age.

Parental involvement is a critical component of any successful GDL

Program. Working together we can ensure that our newest,

youngest drivers are well prepared to enjoy a lifetime of safe and

responsible driving.

Answer 4

Not in the UK you're not ! In simple terms - if you're in charge of a vehicle, you risk points on your licence and a fine for using your phone while driving. The current penalties are 6 points and up to £1,000 fine.

Answer 5

The laws still apply whether or not other traffic is present either oncoming or traveling with you. The laws are the laws ... no matter what conditions may be present. Hang up and drive ... driving is a privilege, it is not a right.

Answer 6

No, at least in California you are not. Using a cell in the car is illegal in most states oncoming traffic or not. A hands free blue tooth system is ok, but holding the phone is not. Check your state laws.

Answer 7

No if your state has a law about cell phone usage while driving it would be illegal and either way it is dangerous and you shouldnt do it.
