Description
Learner's permits; use of personal communications device. Eliminates the provisions prohibiting a holder of a learner's permit or a holder of a provisional driver's license from operating a vehicle while using a wireless telecommunications device. Such provisions were specific only to the holder of a learner's permit or a provisional driver's license. Under a different current law, all drivers, including those with a learner's permit or a provisional driver's license, are prohibited from holding a handheld personal communications device while operating a vehicle.
