Teen Driver Cell Phone Ban. Bill Passes Virginia Senate

Viriginia becomes the first Sate to ban minors from using mobile phones while driving a car, reports Wavy.com.

"A bill that bans motorists in Virginia younger than 18 from talking on cellular phones while driving and subjects them to tickets if they don't wear seat belts won easy Senate passage Friday.

[...] Maine and New Jersey have already banned cell phone use by drivers under 21 who have only a learner's permit. No state imposes a cell phone ban on licensed teen cell phone users, Sundeen said, but several legislatures this year are considering legislation similar to Virginia's"
