Effective July 1, 2008, this new law prohibits drivers over age 18 from using handheld wireless telephones while driving, unless the device allows for hands-free listening and talking. Drivers under age 18 will be prohibited from using wireless telephones altogether, even if employing a hands-free device, and from using "mobile service devices" such as Blackberries, pagers, and laptops.
