My Point of view
No, they shouldn't be allowed. With drivers paying attention to their phones, it can cause lives of others and them self. Its estimated that there is 636,000 accidents from motorist using their phones instead of looking at the road. Along with the 2,600 deaths from phones too.

Many distractions caused by phone can be their social media, checking their email, surfing the web, talking to someone, and the most common one texting.
