Under Wyoming state law, which phone use is illegal for a driver on a public road?

Correct answer: Reading a new text message on a handheld phone while driving

Why

Wyoming law bans writing, sending or reading texts, instant messages or email on a handheld device while you drive on a public road. The exceptions include a lawfully parked vehicle, hands-free or voice-operated use, and entering a number or name to make a call. Some Wyoming cities and towns ban all cell phone use while driving, so watch for local notices. Any phone conversation takes attention from the road, so WYDOT recommends that you pull well off the road and stop before you call or text.
