Answer:
South Carolina does not have laws that prohibit the use of handheld cell phones while driving. This means that both young drivers and bus drivers are allowed to use their phones without restrictions. Additionally, sending or receiving text messages while driving is not banned. However, it is important to note that talking on a mobile phone can distract drivers and increase the risk of accidents. Many states and local governments have made it illegal to use a cell phone while driving for this reason.
