- Subcategory: Traffic Laws
- Date:
- State: Kansas
Answer:
In Kansas, using a cell phone while driving is generally allowed. However, drivers with a learner’s permit are prohibited from using cell phones, including sending or receiving text messages. While hands-free cell phone use is permitted, studies show that both hands-free and handheld devices can distract drivers and increase crash risk. Texting is particularly dangerous as it requires drivers to take their eyes off the road. Currently, fourteen states and the District of Columbia ban texting for all drivers.This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
