Colorado Driving and Cell-Phone Legislation

Colorado does not have a hands-free driving law for licensed drivers over 18 years of age. Drivers that are using any type of instruction permit are prohibited from using any kind of mobile communication device such as a cell-phone. This includes text-messaging and does not allow for hands-free operation of a cell-phone. Regardless of age, if you are driving with any kind of learner or instruction permit this law applies.

Like many other states around the country, the violation of this cell-phone driving law is a secondary offense. A secondary offense means that the driver using a cell-phone or mobile communication device must first be violating a primary enforcement law such as reckless driving, speeding or running a red light before they can be ticketed for violating Colorado's cell-phone law.
