A new state law will ban teens under the age of 18 from using cell phones while driving. If caught using a phone, drivers could face $25 fines, court costs and a possible extension of the drivers' graduated driving period. -Police said if they see a teen driving in any parking lot and using a phone, they will pull the driver over and issue a ticket. The total cost of the fines and court costs totals about $135. -The new law includes gaming, e-mailing and text messaging which is very popular among teens.-The only calls that are allowed are emergency calls and calls to a parent or guardian. So, it is the burden of proof of the underaged driver to prove who they were talking to.
Officials say that they hope that the new law will help reduce teen traffic accidents and deaths.
