Yeah, some will call this intrusive, but as someone who works with teens, they DO NOT need to be aloowed to drive with cell phones they’re first ^ second year driving.
The research shows teens are just not equipped with the same reaction time as adult, experienced drivers. If this saves one person’s life in the state, it’s well worth it. Driving is a priveledge, not a right.
