Full Question:
Answer:
In District of Columbia, all drivers are prohibited from hand held use of cell phone while driving. All the learner’s permit holders are also prohibited from using sell phone while driving. School bus drivers are also specifically banned from using the cell phone while driving. District of Columbia bans all drivers from texting while driving.
Generally, using cell phones while driving distracts drivers to a great extent. Texting is even more distracting because texting causes a driver to take his/her eyes off the road in contrast to talking on the mobile while driving where the driver though distracted need not take his eyes off the road (except when dialling). Text messaging is banned for all drivers in 14 states and the District of Columbia.
