You are 19 and stopped at a long red light on a Vermont highway. A text message arrives on your phone. When may you read it?
Correct answer: Only after you pull off the road and stop where the car can safely and legally stay.
Why
Vermont's texting law applies to drivers of every age, and a separate law bans hand-held use of a phone by all drivers. A driver under 18 may not use any portable electronic device while driving. At a red light, your eyes and mind need to stay on the signal, pedestrians and the traffic around you. Let the message wait, or ask a passenger to read it.
