Teen Drivers and Cell Phones

July 18, 2008 - 6:21 PM

The Secretary of State is doing her part to keep Michigan drivers safe on the road.

Terry Lynn Land announced a new licensing restriction for teen cell phone use behind the wheel Friday.

Teens who are 14 and nine months to 19-years-old whose cell phone use contributes to an accident or ticket may be prohibited from using a phone behind the wheel. 

The Secretary of State says teens falling under this category would undergo a re-examination.  If they fail, their graduate drivers license would be delayed.
