- State: Vermont
Answer:
Vermont does not have laws that prohibit the use of a cellular phone while driving. This means that both handheld and hands-free phone use is allowed for all drivers, including young and bus drivers. Additionally, sending or receiving text messages is not banned in the state.
However, it's important to note that talking on a mobile phone can distract drivers and increase the risk of accidents. Many states have made it illegal to use a cell phone while driving due to these safety concerns. Texting is particularly distracting because it requires a driver to take their eyes off the road, unlike talking on the phone, which may allow for some level of visual attention to the road.
