As of March 1, 2008, under what conditions may New Jersey motorists use a hand-held cellphone?

In New Jersey, as of March 1, 2008, motorists are permitted to use a hand-held cellphone only in certain scenarios, specifically during emergencies. This includes situations such as reporting a fire, a traffic accident, or a medical emergency. The law is designed to minimize distractions while driving and enhance overall road safety by limiting cellphone use to critical situations where immediate communication is necessary to ensure the safety of individuals involved.

Other options, while they touch on common contexts in which people might want to use a cellphone, do not align with the regulations set forth by New Jersey law. Personal calls, business calls, and using a cellphone while parked do not qualify under the legal exceptions that allow for the use of hand-held cellphones while driving.
