N.C. Senate Bill Would Prevent Teens From Using Cell Phones While Driving

Some state lawmakers are going after teen drivers who chat on cell phones.

Senate Bill 102

would make it illegal for anyone under 18 to use a cell phone behind the wheel. The bill even includes the use of hands-free devices.

Violators could be slapped with a $100 fine if the bill becomes law.

Cell phone companies believe such restrictive laws are unfair to their industry.
