Novice Drivers – More Restrictions When Driving
A recent bill was passed that will put another layer of
restrictions on novice drivers. Those individuals holding a level I or level II
drivers license will be unable to use a cellphone while operating a vehicle.
These types of licenses already maintain restrictions on an
individual either requiring them to have a parent or guardian with them while
driving (level I) or only being able to drive during certain hours or the day
and with a certain amount of individuals inside the vehicle (level II). The violation will be rendered in the form of
a civil infraction that is to be then determined by the municipality.
There are apparently going to be exceptions to the new law,
which will allow drivers to use hands-free calling. These exceptions will be
found in vehicles having wireless phone capabilities. This new law goes
hand-in-hand with the no texting while driver law that was put into place a
short while ago.
The general purpose of the law is to protect others on the
roadways. Everyone has to admit that cellphones in general are distraction, no
matter who and when you are using it.
It is always smart and essential to know the laws that apply
to you, your family, and your friends. The smallest ticket can impact your
license and ability to drive. This is said because an accumulation of points
can create a revoked license. Moreover, obtaining infractions when having a
low-level drivers license can increase the length of time the individual has
such a license.
