No Cell Phones in a School Zone Law

On January 1st, 2010, a new law took effect - Senate Bill 72 titled "Vehicular Phone Use in School Zones". According to the new law:  "A person, regardless of age, may not use a wireless telephone at any time while operating a motor vehicle on a roadway in a school speed zone."  A motorist can use a cell phone in a school zone if they are in voice activated or "hands free" mode. This is outlined in (iv) of Public Act 096-0131. To read the entire text of the new law please see http://www.drivinglaws.org/ill.php

The IDOT summary of the new driving law indicates that the new laws ban motorists from sending text messages while driving in Illinois, and make it illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving through a highway construction zone or SCHOOL ZONE.  In addition, it will become illegal to compose, send or read text messages, instant messages and email on a cell phone or surf the internet while driving.  The ban also includes personal digital assistants and portable or mobile computers, but does not include global positioning systems (GPS) or navigation systems.
