Oregon law prohibits teen use of cell phones and text messaging
Persons under 18 years of age are not allowed to "operate a motor vehicle while using a mobile communication device." A mobile communication device is defined as "a text messaging device or a wireless, two-way communication device designed to receive and transmit voice or text communication," including hands-free accessories. It is a primary offense and a Class D traffic violation, and a conviction counts toward the Provisional Driver Improvement Program.
