Explanation
Kansas law prohibits drivers from writing, sending, or reading any electronic communications while operating a vehicle. While simply talking on a phone isn't specifically illegal, any cell phone use can dangerously distract drivers from the road. Research shows that distracted driving significantly increases crash risks, with cell phones being particularly hazardous due to their combination of manual, visual, and cognitive distractions. The only safe way to use a cell phone is to first completely stop your vehicle in a legal parking area.
