Using a smartphone to ____________ while operating a motor vehicle is illegal.

send written communication
read
type
All of the above.
Explanation

In Nebraska, it is illegal to use a handheld cell phone to read, type, or send written communication while driving. Activities like texting or checking emails are dangerous distractions that significantly increase your risk of a crash.
Studies show that drivers who use handheld cell phones are four times more likely to be involved in a crash serious enough to cause injury. Sending or reading a text message takes a driver's eyes off the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. At 55 mph, that’s like driving the entire length of a football field blindfolded.
To stay safe, always check your text messages, emails, and other portable devices before you begin driving. Focus on the road - distractions can be deadly.
