Maya, 16, holds a Provisional Operator's Permit (POP). While she is driving, a call comes in through the car's hands-free system. What does Nebraska law allow her to do?

Correct answer: Let the call go; a permit holder may not use any interactive wireless device while driving.

Why

Nebraska's graduated licensing law bars the holders of all four permits (LPE, SCP, LPD and POP) from using any kind of interactive wireless communication device while they drive, so calls are covered, not only text messages. New drivers are still learning to manage traffic, and a phone conversation takes attention away from that task even when the phone is not held. Police enforce this rule as a secondary offense, and a violation adds a point to the permit holder's driving record.
