What type of device is prohibited for drivers under 18 to use while driving?

Drivers under 18 are prohibited from using any wireless device while driving to enhance safety and reduce distractions. This restriction is rooted in the recognition that younger, novice drivers are at a higher risk of accidents, and the use of wireless devices—such as smartphones—can significantly impair their ability to focus on the road.

The law aims to create a safer driving environment for young drivers by limiting their exposure to potential distractions. Since wireless devices encompass various communication tools, the regulation covers both phone calls and texting, thereby addressing the primary causes of distracted driving among teenagers. The other options listed do not apply under this comprehensive ban, as certain devices like Bluetooth headsets or GPS can be used under specific conditions or are exempt from the general prohibition on wireless device usage.
