Answer:
Vermont does not have any laws prohibiting the use of cellular phone while driving. In Vermont, there is no law prohibiting people from using hand held cellular phone while driving. Young drivers as well as bus drivers are also not prohibited from using cellular phone while driving. Sending or receiving text messages are also not banned.
Generally, talking on a mobile phone while driving cause a driver to be distracted and increases the chance of accidents. Because of this, many state and local governments have made it illegal to use a cell phone while driving.
Texting is even more distracting because texting causes a driver to take his/her eyes off the road in contrast to talking on the mobile while driving where the driver though distracted need not take his eyes off the road (except when dialling).
