distracted driving

According to the Michigan State Police, troopers issued around 600 distracted driving tickets since the hands-free driving law was enacted last year.

Holding a mobile device while driving is enough for officers to initiate a traffic stop. Motorists who break the law could face fines or a road safety refresher course for additional violations.

Driving while holding onto a phone or some other electronic device will be against the law in Michigan starting June 30th.

Bills on their way to Governor Gretchen Whitmer would forbid drivers from using cell phones and other electronic devices while behind the wheel. Drivers would only be allowed to use phones in hands-free modes.

Michigan drivers would face penalties for driving while using handheld phones or other electronic devices under bills that cleared the state House Tuesday.
