Nebraska Driving and Cell-Phone LawsThe State of Nebraska does have legislation regarding the use of cellular phones while driving. The new bill that goes into effect on January 1st, 2008 is legislative bill 415. The new driving law prohibits drivers under the age of 18 from using a wireless communication device while driving. This includes personal digital assistants (PDA's), mobile or cellular-telephones, messaging devices, audio-video players that send or receive messages, and laptop computers.
The new driving law is a secondary driving law. This means the driver of the vehicle must first be in violation of a primary enforcement law such as speeding or running a red light. The new law applies to provisional, LPE-learner's permit, and school permits. School permits are subject to impoundment or revocation if they are found to be in violation of the terms of a school permit, and will not be eligible for any type of permit until he or she reaches the age of sixteen years. Like many cell-phone laws across the United States, there are exceptions for emergency situations.
