What is the law of Colorado which deals with use of hand held phones by drivers?
Full Question:
Answer:
In Colorado, there is no prohibition on hand held use of cell phones while driving. Starting from 12/01/2009, drivers younger than 18 years cannot use the cell phones while driving. There is no ban on use of cell phones by school bus drivers. Effective 12/01/2009, texting while driving is prohibited for all drivers.
The consistency of increased crash risk between hands-free and hand held cell phone use is at odds with legislation that prohibits hand held cell phone use but allows hands-free. In the United States, hands free use of a cell phone while driving is not prohibited in any state. Since dialing buttons on a cell phone is more distracting than talking on a cell phone, hands-free devices that offer voice-dialing may reduce the risk of accidents to a limited extent.
