Answers
1. Yes.
Under current State law, Pennsylvania does not prohibit you to talk on your hand-held cell phone while driving. However, local municipalities may independently pass ordinances which prohibit hand-held cell phone use. Different states have different laws, but most will be incorporating the handsfree law.
2. Yes.
However, for safety, it is recommended that any child under the age of 13 be seated in one of the rear seats and not in the front seat.
3. Yes,
in fact it’s required. See “What’s your Insurance IQ?” article for the answer.
