The key points are: 1) No one under the age of 18 can use a cell phone in a vehicle at all (calling, texting, etc.). 2) No one can text (sending or receiving/reading) while driving (you can pull off the road), nor can you text when you're at a stop sign or stop light. 3) No one can use a cell phone to check emails, navigate using a cell phone's GPS (unless the phone is mounted), search the internet, etc. Bodo
