Laws on Use of Cell Phones
California law prohibits any driver from using a handheld mobile phone or device while driving. Drivers under the age of 18 in California are considered novices, and as such are prohibited from any use of cell phones while driving, handheld or not.
Since the law does not permit the use of handheld cell phones while driving, these are the remaining options:
- While driving simply abstain from using your cell phone
- Put your cell phone on speaker mode
- Rely on a Bluetooth wireless earpiece
- Wear a wired headset attached to your phone
- Have a car kit and mount installed
